Embodiment Construction

[0050] As used in this specification and claims, the term "body fluids" and variations thereof mean bodily excretions, especially liquids produced, secreted, emitted and / or expelled from the human body.

[0051] As used in the specification and claims, the term "liquid" and variations thereof refer to liquids, especially bodily fluids.

[0052] As used in this specification and claims, the term "sheet" and variations thereof refer to a portion of an article that is thin relative to its length and width.

[0053] As used in this specification and claims, the term "parallel plate" and variations thereof refer to a system of at least two opposing parallel plates capable of moving liquid by capillary action between the plates. Each "plate" in the system is flexible and / or resilient to move in its environment. However, they maintain a substantially facing relationship (compared to their relative length and width) at a relatively constant spacing, at least locally in their structur...

Abstract

An intravaginal device has a fluid storage element and at least one fluid transport element in fluid communication with the fluid storage element. The at least one fluid transport element has a first plate and a second plate coupled to the first plate. The second plate is capable of separating from the first plate sufficiently to provide inter-plate capillary action. The at least one fluid transport element is bendable about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fluid storage element. The invention also includes methods and apparatus useful in the production of an intravaginal device.
