Problems solved by technology

Another disadvantage exists due to the fact that drug delivery does not depend on environmental conditions and more specifically on the physiological state of the user (e.g. whether the user is a fast / slow metabolizer or the moment of the reproductive cycle)
Therefore, an inappropriate amount of drug may be delivered

Embodiment Construction

[0031] figure 1 An embodiment of the device 1 according to the invention is shown schematically. The device comprises a container 2 for containing a drug through an opening (not shown) of the device 1 . Pump 3 is used to pump the drug out of the opening. Sensor 4 is used to determine the flow of drug through the opening. The flow sensor can act indirectly by measuring the fill level of the container 2 .

[0032] The device 1 comprises further sensors 5 measuring for example hormone levels or glucose or drugs. Information from sensor 4 and from sensor 5 is fed to a controller 6 which controls pump 3 . Thus, the drug can be delivered intravaginally based on the measured hormone levels inside the vagina and / or the levels inside the container 2 .

[0033] The device 1 may be embodied as a device for delivery of ovulation-inducing GnRH for Kallmann's syndrome (or other hypothalamic hypogonadism symptoms). In this case, sensor 5 may be configured to measure estradiol and / or LH...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a vaginal drug delivery device and a vaginal diagnostic device comprising a first and a second rigid member, wherein the first and / or second rigid member comprises a container for a drug to be delivered, an opening, and a A pump that pumps out of said opening; and / or wherein the first rigid member and / or the second rigid member comprise a diagnostic device for performing intravaginal diagnosis or measurements for diagnosis. The device further comprises a first flexible member and a flexible part, wherein at least one of the first flexible member and the flexible part is at least partially elastic having elasticity such that the device can be squeezed from an expanded shape to a contracted shape. The device is pre-biased to assume an extended shape when little or no external force is applied to the device. Furthermore, when the devices are first inserted using the extruded rigid member, the devices assume a shape substantially corresponding to the expanded shape such that they naturally unfold in the posterior vaginal fornix.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vaginal drug delivery device (vaginal drug delivery device, vaginal drug delivery device) and a vaginal diagnostic device. The present invention also relates to a combination vaginal drug delivery device and vaginal diagnostic device. Background technique [0002] Within the context of the present invention, a vaginal drug delivery device is a device configured to deliver a drug while inside the vagina. Similarly, vaginal diagnostic devices are configured to perform diagnostic or measurement functions while inside the vagina. [0003] Vaginal drug delivery devices are known in the art. For example, low-dose vaginal contraceptive rings made of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate), known as The ring releases hormones to provide contraceptive protection. [0004] The known ring is made of a flexible material that allows the ring to be squeezed to change the shape of the ring to allow the ring to be inserted into the vagi...
