Abstract:
Dispositivo para retardar el nacimiento que comprende un anillo superior para rodear un cuello uterino, un componente de anclaje para anclar el dispositivo y un componente elástico para unir el anillo superior al componente de anclaje, en donde el componente elástico empuja el anillo superior y el componente de anclaje para separarlos. Dispositivo para retardar el nacimiento que comprende una manga para rodear un cuello uterino a lo largo de una porción mayor de una longitud del cuello uterino, una tira de soporte en la manga dirigida a lo largo de un eje de la manga y un anillo al menos parcialmente alrededor de la manga, en donde cuando se empuja una parte superior de la manga para expandirse radialmente, la tira de soporte pivota sobre el anillo, de manera que un extremo de la tira de soporte cerca de la parte superior de la manga se mueve radialmente hacia afuera y un extremo de la tira de soporte cerca de la parte inferior de la manga se mueve radialmente hacia adentro. También se describen aparatos y métodos relacionados. (Traducción automática con Google Translate, sin valor legal)
Abstract:
A sample collection device that includes a body having a proximal end and a distal end, the body defining a channel extending from the distal end to the proximal end. The sample collection device includes an opening at the proximal end of the body that extends into the channel of the body. The body includes an adhering portion having a depressed surface relative to an adjacent exterior surface of the body, the adhering portion configured to receive a sample in response to the sample contacting the depressed surface of the adhering portion. The body is manually maneuverable in response to the channel receiving a finger of a user through the opening of the body.
Abstract:
A device for retarding birth including an upper ring for surrounding a cervix, an anchoring component for anchoring the device, and an elastic component for attaching the upper ring to the anchoring component, wherein the elastic component pushes the upper ring and the anchoring component apart. A device for retarding birth including a sleeve for surrounding a cervix along a greater portion of a length of the cervix, a support strip on the sleeve directed along an axis of the sleeve, and a ring at least partially around the sleeve, in which when a top of the sleeve is pushed to expand radially, the support strip pivots on the ring, such that an end of the support strip near the top of the sleeve moves radially outward, and an end of the support strip near the bottom of the sleeve moves radially inward. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
