Medical Applications of Intravaginal Devices
Intravaginal devices are medical tools designed for insertion into the vaginal canal to provide therapeutic, diagnostic, or supportive functions. These devices are widely used in gynecology and reproductive health due to their localized action and non-invasive nature.
One of the primary advantages of intravaginal devices is targeted delivery. Medications administered through these devices act directly at the site of need, reducing systemic exposure and minimizing side effects. This approach is particularly useful for hormonal therapy, infection management, and fertility support.
Intravaginal devices are also used for structural support in conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence. These devices help restore anatomical alignment, improving comfort and quality of life without the need for surgical intervention.
Design and material selection are critical to device effectiveness. Modern intravaginal devices are made from biocompatible materials that ensure comfort, durability, and safety during extended use. Advances in design have improved ease of insertion…
