  • APPLICATOR FOR A MENSTRUAL DEVICE
    Publication number: 20220296409
    Abstract: A menstrual disc applicator that is configured to hold a menstrual device in a folded configuration to allow for insertion of the disc into the fornix. Many applicators are configured to not only insert the disc but to provide rotation such that it sits properly in the vaginal fornix. Some applicators may have spring like mechanisms to help move the disc into the proper position while others may have contoured elements that better conform to the anatomy to allow for proper insertion and placement of the disc.
