AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

There is a need for a safe, non-hormonal, and effective treatment for vaginal atrophy that can be self-administered and suitable for all women, addressing the underlying cause without causing irreversible damage to the vaginal epithelium.

Method used

A device configured to be inserted into the vagina that applies mechanical microtrauma through negative pressure therapy, causing controlled microtrauma to stimulate angiogenesis and collagen matrix production by generating small deformations such as microtears, punctures, or holes in the vaginal wall.

Benefits of technology

The device effectively stimulates the production of Hyaluronic Acid, promoting angiogenesis and collagen matrix thickening, reducing vaginal atrophy and improving moisture retention, suitable for both postmenopausal women and breast cancer survivors.

Abstract

A device (1, 20, 100, 200) for the treatment of vaginal atrophy, comprising a treatment module (2, 21, 101, 201) configured for insertion into the vagina and including a microtrauma module. This module is configured to apply mechanical microtrauma therapy by negative pressure to the vaginal wall upon insertion. The microtrauma module has several openings (6, 106, 206) connected by fluids to a vacuum pump, and the device is arranged to generate negative pressure in these openings (6, 106).
