Abstract

In a vaginal tampon as mechanical aid against urea incontinence, with a foam body, the body has a widened, flattened cross-section. An Independent claim is also included for the production of the tampon.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Vaginal-Tampon als mechanisches Hilfsmittel gegen Blasenschwäche oder Inkontinenz.The invention relates to a vaginal tampon as a mechanical aid against bladder weakness or incontinence.

Es ist bekannt, daß Blasenschwäche oder Inkontinenz bei Frauen durch eine Deformation des Blasenhalses bedingt sein kann, welche durch Ein­ führen eines Tampons korrigierbar ist, so daß wieder eine normale Funkti­ on des Schließmuskels gewährleistet ist.It is known to cause bladder weakness or incontinence in women a deformation of the bladder neck can be caused by Ein lead a tampon is correctable, so that again a normal functi on the sphincter is guaranteed.

Hierdurch wird für die betroffenen Personen eine angenehmere Lösung dieses Problems erreicht als herkömmlicherweise, wo man sich darauf be­ schränkt hatte, unkontrollierten Harnausfluß durch Wäscheeinlagen aufzu­ fangen.This will be a more pleasant solution for the people concerned this problem is achieved as traditionally, wherever you look at it had restricted uncontrolled urine flow through laundry pads to catch.

Aus der nicht vorveröffentlichten europäischen Patentanmeldung 98810064 ist ein gattungsgemäßer Tampon bekannt, der aus zwei einzelnen Zylinder­ körpern besteht, die im Abstand voneinander angeordnet und mittels einer elastischen Folie flexibel verbunden sind. Ein derartiger Tampon ist her­ stellungstechnisch aufwendig und von der Benutzerin schwer handhabbar.From the unpublished European patent application 98810064 is a generic tampon is known which consists of two individual cylinders bodies, which are spaced from each other and by means of a elastic film are flexibly connected. Such a tampon was made positionally complex and difficult to handle by the user.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Vagi­ nal-Tampon der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß er seine Kor­ rekturfunktion optimal ausüben kann und über längere Zeiträume hagbar ist.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is a vagi nal tampon of the type mentioned in such a way that he his Kor can perform rectal function optimally and hageable over longer periods is.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Grundkörper im Querschnitt verbreitert, abgeflacht ausgebildet ist. This object is achieved in that the base body is widened in cross section, flattened.  

Durch die erfindungsgemäße gegenüber herkömmlichen Tampons vergrö­ ßerte, abgeflachte Ausgestaltung wird eine optimale Anpassung an die kör­ perlichen Gegebenheiten und ein sehr guter Sitz erzielt.Enlarged compared to conventional tampons esser, flattened design is an optimal adaptation to the kör physical conditions and a very good fit.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Grundkörper durch zwei starr miteinander verbundene Zylinderkörper ge­ bildet ist.In a further embodiment of the invention it can be provided that the Base body by two rigidly interconnected cylinder body ge forms is.

Ein Rückholfaden kann in Längsrichtung durch die Zylinderkörper geführt sein.A return thread can be passed through the cylinder body in the longitudinal direction his.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Tampon wird vorteilhafterweise so hergestellt, daß in herkömmlicher Weise Tampons mit zylinderförmigen Grundkörpern starr verbunden werden, wobei im Verwendungszustand die volle Elastizi­ tät erhalten bleibt.A tampon according to the invention is advantageously produced in such a way that in the conventional way tampons with cylindrical bodies be rigidly connected, the full elasticity in use activity remains.

Insbesondere bei aus Polyvinylalkohol-Schaumstoff hergestellten Grund­ körpern kann vorteilhafterweise vorgesehen sein, daß die zylinderförmigen Grundkörper unter Einwirkung von Restfeuchtigkeit, Wärme und Druck miteinander verschweißt werden.Especially in the case of a base made of polyvinyl alcohol foam bodies can advantageously be provided that the cylindrical Base body under the influence of residual moisture, heat and pressure are welded together.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungs­ beispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:The invention is described below on the basis of a preferred embodiment example explained in connection with the drawing. Show:

Fig. 1 eine schematische Aufsicht auf einen erfindungsgemäßen Vagi­ nal-Tampon und Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view of a vaginal tampon according to the invention and

Fig. 2 einen Schnitt längs der Linie II-II in Fig. 1. FIG. 2 shows a section along the line II-II in FIG. 1.

Ein in der Zeichnung dargestellter Vaginal-Tampon 1 weist einen Grund­ körper 2 aus acetalisiertem Polyvinylalkohol-Schaumstoff auf.A shown in the drawing vaginal tampon 1 has a base body 2 made of acetalized polyvinyl alcohol foam.

Der Grundkörper 2 wird gebildet durch zwei Zylinderkörper 3, 4, welche in einem Mittelbereich 5 unter Einwirkung von Restfeuchtigkeit sowie Druck und Wärme verschweißt sind. Hierdurch entsteht eine Grundform mit Ab­ flachungen 6, 7 an der Ober- bzw. Unterseite und seitlichen Abrundungen 8, 9.The base body 2 is formed by two cylinder bodies 3 , 4 , which are welded in a central region 5 under the action of residual moisture as well as pressure and heat. This creates a basic shape with flattenings 6 , 7 on the top and bottom and side roundings 8 , 9 .

Im Verbindungsbereich 5 ist eine rinnenartige Vertiefung 10, 11, die in Längsrichtung verläuft, ausgebildet.A groove-like depression 10 , 11 , which runs in the longitudinal direction, is formed in the connecting region 5 .

Ein Rückholfaden 12 durchsetzt die Zylinderkörper 3, 4 längs der Längs­ achse und ist im Bereich des Vorderendes 13 des Tampons 1 um 180° um­ gebogen.A return thread 12 passes through the cylinder body 3 , 4 along the longitudinal axis and is bent in the region of the front end 13 of the tampon 1 by 180 °.
