26 results about "Menstrual cup" patented technology

A menstrual cup is a feminine hygiene device that is inserted into the vagina during menstruation. Its purpose is to collect menstrual fluid (blood from uterine lining) and prevent its leaking onto clothes. Menstrual cups are usually made of flexible medical grade silicone and shaped like a bell with a stem. The stem is used for insertion and removal. The bell-shaped cup seals against the vaginal wall just below the cervix. Every 4–12 hours (depending on the amount of flow), the cup is removed, emptied, rinsed, and reinserted. After each period, the cup should be boiled for at least 5 minutes and stored for use the next month.

Hands-free menstrual fluid collection device with pressure-activated valves

PendingUS20250318949A1Bodily discharge devicesMuscle contractionVaginal canal
A menstrual cup is disclosed, comprising a flexible, biocompatible collector configured for insertion into the vaginal canal and enabling hands-free emptying of menstrual fluid without removal. The collector body defines a fluid-retention chamber and includes one or more pressure-responsive valves and an outlet. The valves open in response to compression from voluntary abdominal or pelvic floor muscle contractions, allowing fluid evacuation while the device remains in situ. Upon release of pressure, the valves close to maintain a leak-proof seal. The valves also provide suction relief to equalize internal and external pressure during insertion or removal. Transverse reinforcement bands integrated into the collector body enhance pressure transfer and promote valve actuation. Unlike traditional menstrual cups that require removal for emptying, the present invention allows extended wear and periodic, hands-free drainage. The device may optionally incorporate biosensors and an applicator system for accurate placement of the cup into the vaginal canal.
