  • Tampon with infection-protection
    Patent number: 6670523
    Abstract: Disclosed is a tampon that is impregnated with a means which is water-repellent as well as infection inhibitory. Said tampon is thus particularly useful for swimming and bathing. Washing-out of the infection inhibitory component is prevented by using an impregnation means combined of a half-solid or solid support with an infection inhibitory means based on plant oils which act accordingly. The inventive tampon is thus useful for long-term application in water.
