ABSTRACT:
A device for inserting a sterile tampon comprising an outer tube, an insertion tube which slides telescopically inside the outer tube, and a sterile tampon releasably attached to the forward end of the insertion tube and pressed against the inside of the closed forward end of the outer tube, the outer tube being weakened at its forward end so as to rupture when manual pressure is applied to the insertion tube to permit ejection of the tampon into the vagina, the outer tube having two spaced laterally outwardly projecting members, one located adjacent the rearward end of the outer tube and the other located in the central portion between the forward end and the rearward end of the outer tube to position the forward end of the outer tube at a desired depth, the member at the rearward end of the outer tube serving as a finger grip, the insertion tube having at its forward end a means for releasably gripping the string end of the tampon and at its rearward end a laterally outwardly projecting member to prevent sliding of the insertion tube into the outer tube beyond the position where the projecting member contacts the rearward end of the outer tube.
