Abstract

The protective device (7) is particularly suited to the female body and comprises a hollow condom-shaped part (76) which can be inserted in the vagina. The external opening (7c) of the hollow part (7b) forms the edge of a flat border part (10) which surrounds the vaginal orifice (3) and covers the lips of the vulva (4), the clitoris (5) and the anal region (6). The protective device (7) is held in position by the elastic straps (13, 14). By interrupting the transmission of body liquid, particularly during sexual contacts, the protective device (7) prevents the transmission of communicable diseases, and in particular the immunodepressive viral disease AIDS.

Description

Hygieneschutzvorrichtung zur Verhinderung der Uebertragung von InfektionskrankheitenHygiene protection device to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Hygieneschutzvorrichtung der im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 aufgezeigten Art.The invention relates to a hygiene protection device of the type shown in the characterizing part of claim 1.
Zweck der Schutzvorrichtung ist die Verhinderung der Weitergabe von Infektionskrankheiten insbesondere der zur Ausschaltung des Immunsystems führenden Viruserkrankung AIDS, durch Unterbindung der Uebertragung von Körperflüssigkeiten, insbesondere bei Sexualkontakten zwischen Mann und Frau.The purpose of the protective device is to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases, in particular the viral disease AIDS, which leads to the deactivation of the immune system, by preventing the transmission of body fluids, in particular in the case of sexual contact between men and women.
In neuerer Zeit ist es zu einer rasanten Ausbreitung der durch das sogenannte Aids-HIV-Virus verursachten Krankheit, die einen meist tödlichen Verlauf nimmt, gekommen.In recent times, the disease caused by the so-called AIDS HIV virus has spread rapidly, which is usually fatal.
Die Krankheit wird von einer infizierten Person an eine andere, neben der möglichen indirekten Uebertragung z.B. durch Verwendung von Blut bei Bluttransfusionen, das von nicht als Virusträger erkannten Spendern stammt, oder bei Benutzung von Spritzen durch drogensüchtige Personen, die vorher mit dem Blut Infizierter in Berührung gekommen sind und nicht desinfiziert wurden, hauptsächlich bei Kontakten, die sich zwischen Personen beim Sexualverkehr ergeben, direkt übertragen.The disease is spread from one infected person to another, in addition to the possible indirect transmission, for example through the use of blood in blood transfusions, from donors who are not recognized as carriers of the virus, or if syringes are used by drug addicts who have previously come into contact with the blood of infected people and who have not been disinfected, mainly in the case of contacts that arise between people during sexual intercourse.
Dabei dienen die Körperflüssigkeiten Blut, Sperma, Vaginalsekrete und bedingt Speichel als Transportmittel für die Viren, die damit z.B. über geringfügige Verletzungen im Bereich der Körperhöhlen oder der daran anschliessenden Hautpartien und über die Spermaaufnahme bei der Frau in den Körper und den Blutkreislauf gelangen.The body fluids blood, sperm, vaginal secretions and limited saliva serve as a means of transport for the viruses, which thus e.g. get into the body and the bloodstream through minor injuries in the area of the body cavities or the adjoining skin areas and via the sperm intake in the woman.
Da es zur Zeit keine medizinische Hilfe gegen AIDS gibt, wird zur Eindämmung der Ausbreitung dieser Krankheit von den Gesundheitsbehörden der Rat erteilt, im Falle der Unsicherheit über eine Infizierungsmöglichkeit sich gegen den Austausch von Körperflüssigkeiten durch Verwendung von sogenannten Kondomen zu schützen.Since there is currently no medical aid against AIDS, the health authorities are giving advice to curb the spread of this disease. In the event of uncertainty about the possibility of infection, protection against the exchange of body fluids by using condoms is given.
Die Wirkung, die mit derartigen Präservativen, die beim Sexualverkehr über das männliche Glied gestülpt werden, erzielt werden soll, besteht in der Kontaktverhinderung im Bereich der Vaginalschleimhäute, sowie in der Vermeidung des Spermaaustritts und einer möglichen Befruchtung der Frau.The effect that is to be achieved with such condoms, which are put over the male member during sexual intercourse, consists in preventing contact in the area of the vaginal mucous membranes, as well as in preventing sperm leakage and possible fertilization of the woman.
Nach dem Stand der Technik hergestellte Präservative bieten für die angestrebten Verhinderungsziele einen relativ guten, aber bedingt durch mögliche Schwachstellen in der sehr dünnen Hüllenwand, keine absolute Sicherheit.State-of-the-art condoms do not offer absolute certainty for the desired prevention goals, but due to possible weak points in the very thin shell wall.
Für die neuartige Aufgabe, bei der es darum geht, Infektionen, deren tödliche Folgen nahezu sicher sind, mit grösstmöglicher Sicherheit auszuschliessen, bedeutet dies, dass die bisherige Gewohnheit der Präservativverwendung als alleiniges Schutzmittel beim Sexualver kehr, bei dem die dauernde Bereitwilligkeit des männlichen Partners, es zu verwenden, noch nicht einmal ohne weiteres vorausgesetzt werden kann, einer Aenderung und der dazu erforderlichen Mittel im Sinne einer Einflussmöglichkeit der Frau bedarf.For the new task, which is to rule out infections, the fatal consequences of which are almost certain, with the greatest possible certainty, this means that the previous habit of using a condom as the sole means of protection in sexual sex return, in which the permanent willingness of the male partner to use it cannot even be assumed without further ado, requires a change and the necessary means in terms of the woman's influence.
Um dem weiblichen Sexualpartner die Möglichkeit eines von ihm selbst zu bestimmenden und anzuwendenden Schutzes zu geben, wurden von der Medizintechnik zwar bereits sogenannte Pessare geschaffen. Deren hier in- teressierende Form sind die Okklusivpessare. Diese versperren den Samenzellen den Eintritt in die Gebärmutter, haben aber neben der Schwierigkeit der Plazierung im Muttermund, die von einem Arzt vorgenommen werden sollte, den Nachteil, dass sie keinen Schutz gegen Bakterien oder Vireninfizierung im übrigen Vaginalbereich geben, wenn nicht zusätzlich der männliche Partner ein Präservativ benutzt.In order to give the female sexual partner the possibility of protection to be determined and applied by himself, medical technology has already created so-called pessaries. Their form of interest is the occlusive pessaries. These block the entry of sperm into the uterus, but in addition to the difficulty of placing in the cervix, which should be done by a doctor, they have the disadvantage that they do not provide protection against bacteria or viral infections in the rest of the vaginal area, if not the male partner used a condom.
Erforderlich wäre daher im Hinblick darauf, dass es überhaupt keine sicheren Anzeichen gibt, an denen sich eine virusinfizierte Person erkennen liesse und weiter darauf, dass einem männlichen Virusträger über lange Zeit seine Infektion verborgen bleiben kann und von ihm dadurch die Notwendigkeit, ein Kondom zum Schutz der Frau zu benutzen, nicht erkannt wird, dem weiblichen Partner allein die Möglichkeit und das Mittel zu geben, über seinen Schutz selbst zu entscheiden.It would therefore be necessary in view of the fact that there are no sure signs that a virus-infected person can be identified, and further that a male virus carrier can keep his infection hidden for a long time, and hence the need for a condom to protect him to use the woman is not recognized, to give the female partner only the opportunity and the means to decide on his own protection.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen, auch allein von der Frau zu handhabenden effektiven, über den Präservativschutz des Mannes noch hinausgehenden Schutz zu schaffen.It is therefore the object of the invention to provide an effective protection, which can also be handled solely by the woman, which goes beyond the protection of the male condom.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss mit der durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1 beschriebenen Schutzvorrichtung gelöst. Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen neben dem möglichen individuell einseitig von der Frau zu bestimmenden Einsatz des Schutzes darin, dass dem zur Ueberdeckung der Vaginawände zur Verwendung kommenden Hohlformteil ein von vornherein, verglichen mit den Passgrössen von Präservativen, relativ frei dimensionierbares Material- und Formübermass gegebenwerden kann. Ein solches schliesst die bei Präservativen vorkommende Ueberspannungsbeanspruchung und das damit zuweilen verbundene Platzen des zu ihrer Herstellung verwendeten hauchdünnen Materials aus.The object is achieved with the protective device described in the characterizing part of claim 1. The advantages that can be achieved with the invention, in addition to the possible individual use of the protection to be determined individually by the woman, are that the hollow molded part used to cover the vaginal walls is a relatively freely dimensionable material and shape oversize compared to the fit of condoms can be given. This excludes the overvoltage stress that occurs with condoms and the sometimes associated bursting of the wafer-thin material used for their manufacture.
Die Ueberdimensionierungsmöglichkeit und Freiheit der Formgebung erlaubt es dabei weiter, Teilen der Schutzvorrichtung eine Gestaltung in Form von Profilausforraungen zu geben, die den Schutz gegen die Uebertragung von Körperflüssigkeit auch bei den Praktiken des sogenannten Oralverkehrs, bei dem der weibliche Partner zumindest bisher ohne Schutz ist, sicherzustellen.The possibility of over-dimensioning and freedom of shaping further allows parts of the protective device to be designed in the form of profile contours, which also provide protection against the transmission of body fluid in the practice of so-called oral sex, in which the female partner has at least so far been without protection. ensure.
Zur Herstellung der Schutzvorrichtung eignen sich, wenigstens was das Folienhohlformteil in seinem Raumkörperbereich angeht, Gummibaummilch (Latex) und Vorrichtungen und Vulkanisierverfahren, wie sie für die Fabrikation von Präservativen benutzt werden und bekannt sind. Der wesentliche Unterschied gegenüber Formen und Material, das geeignet ist zur Formung von Präservativen besteht darin, dass einmal das Hohlformteil, wenigstens in seinem den Vaginaraum berührenden Teil, aus grössenmässig so ausgelegtem und/oder elastisch verformbaren Material in Dünnfilmqualität gefertigt ist, dass es sich an mögliche Veränderungen der Raumform der Vagina bei Muskel- und/oder Körperteilbewegungen oder bei Penetrationseinwirkungen von aussen durch die Vagina- und Hohlformteilöffnung flexibel anpasst und zum anderen darin, dass es in den möglichen Lagen durch eine Randgestaltung mittels eines zwar festeren aber ebenfalls flexiblen und elastischen Materials derart festgehalten wird, dass dabei auch die Aussenpartien des Vaginabereiches gegen das Eindringen von Körperflüssigkeit durch eventuell vorhandene Hautverletzungen geschützt werden.For the manufacture of the protective device, rubber tree milk (latex) and devices and vulcanization processes, such as are used and known for the manufacture of condoms, are suitable, at least as far as the hollow film part is concerned in its area. The main difference compared to the shape and material that is suitable for forming condoms is that the hollow molded part, at least in its part touching the vaginal cavity, is made of thin-film quality material designed and / or elastically deformable in such a way that it is suitable flexibly adjusts possible changes in the shape of the vagina during muscle and / or body part movements or with penetration effects from the outside through the vagina and hollow part opening and that it is held in the possible positions by means of an edge design by means of a firmer but also flexible and elastic material in such a way that the outer parts of the vaginal area are also protected against the penetration of body fluids by possible skin injuries.
Die Erfindung sieht hierfür eine zweifache Sicherungsmöglichkeit dadurch vor, dass das Hohlformteil durch ein-an seinen Oeffnungsrand anschliessendes Tragteil, das über die Vaginalippen nach aussen geführt eine Verbreiterung aufweist, an der sich eine oder mehrere Befestigungsmittel zur Herstellung einer Verbindung zum Körper anbringen lassen und/oder wird das Tragteil so aus elastisch flexiblem Material in Nutenprofilform hergestellt, dass mit dessen Nutenschenkeln die Lippenteile im Vaginarandbereich umfasst und das Tragteil mittels der ihm durch seine Formgebung und das verwendete Material eigenen Spann- und Rückstellfähigkeit in der ihm gegebenen Lage flexibel festgehalten wird.For this purpose, the invention provides a two-fold securing option in that the hollow molded part has a widening by means of a supporting part which adjoins its opening edge and which extends outwards via the vaginal lips, to which one or more fastening means can be attached to establish a connection to the body and / or is the support part made of elastically flexible material in the shape of a groove profile so that with its groove legs the lip parts in the vaginal border area and the support part is held flexibly in its given position by means of its shape and the material used.
