ABSTRACT:
A device which is used in the vagina to deliver spermicidal surfactants. This device can be inserted by the user, and does not require insertion by a physician as, for example, in the case of intrauterine contraceptive devices. By virtue of its unique construction and shape, the device herein is foldable for easy insertion. Once in position at the cervical os, the device opens to "cap" the os and remain in position, even during intercourse, so that access of the spermicidal surfactant source to the cervical os is not interrupted. The device is designed to remain comfortably in the vagina during the time between menstrual periods to provide desirable, prolonged release of a spermicidal surfactant, and its construction and shape facilitate retention therein while minimizing awareness and discomfort. An effective between-period contraceptive device is thereby provided.
