Female Condom Employing Tensegrity Principle
US Patent:
7047975, May 23, 2006
Filed:
Aug 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/921016
Inventors:
Glenn D. Austin - Seattle WA, US
Lisa Tam - Seattle WA, US
Lisa Tam - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Path - Seattle WA
International Classification:
A61F 6/02
US Classification:
128844, 602902, 128830
Abstract:
Employing the known “tensegrity” principle, a female condom is configured such that when the condom is inserted into a woman's vagina, the woman's introitus acts on a proximal section of an elongated pouch extending between internal and external biasing members (e. g. , rings) of the condom. Inward compressive forces exerted by the introitus on the inner ring of the condom cause the inner ring to be pushed distally within the vaginal canal, and the proximal pouch section to become a tension member pulling against the external ring. This causes a “tenting” of the proximal pouch section against the introitus. The resulting interaction of compression and tensile forces (a tensegrity effect) serves to provide the condom with a high degree of internal and external stability, including resistance to twisting and slippage.

International Classification:
A61F 6/06, A61F 5/37, A61B 17/00, A61B 19/00, A61B 5/44
US Classification:
128830, 128832, 128838, 128884, 128887, 128898, 128918, 604347, 604351
Abstract:
A female condom is provided that includes a pouch of resilient membranous material and a hydrophilic cling mechanism. According to an embodiment of the invention, the cling mechanism includes three or more foam cling elements attached to an outer surface of the pouch. Upon insertion, the foam cling elements cling lightly to vaginal walls proximate a transition zone between the vagina's introitus and its rugated internal tissue. The foam cling elements may be shaped to permit them to nestle into a user's rugated internal vaginal tissue. An inserter may be coupled to the pouch for facilitating insertion of the condom. The inserter may retain a distal portion of the pouch in a collapsed form. The cling mechanism may be contained within the dissolvable inserter. The inserter may be dissolvable in the presence of vaginal moisture. Methods are also provided for collapsing the pouch and compressing it into an insertion package.
