ABSTRACT:
A tampon comprising a rigid conical end for entry into the cavity of a body. Extending from the base of the conical end is a bulb-shaped body made of highly absorbable and expansible material. Disposed within the tampon body is a rupturable container holding a liquid medicant. Immediately before or during the insertion of the tampon into the cavity of the body, the container is ruptured, releasing the liquid medicant to be absorbed by the tampon body. After the tampon body is inserted into the cavity of the body, the tampon body expands radially about the longitudinal axis thereof from the absorption of the liquid medicant. The lips of the cavity of the body grasp the neck of the tampon body and the expanded tampon body engage the walls surrounding the cavity of the body inwardly of the lips for inhibiting unintentional expelling of the tampon from the cavity of the body and for providing direct contact between the medicated tampon body and the walls surrounding the cavity of the body.
