Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9936011A1] This invention is an improved cervical cap (10) positioned over a cervix to concentrate sperm and effect fertilization having a thin walled, flexible, and pliant dome (12) with an integrally molded flexible annular rim (18). The cervical cap (10) further includes an elongated string (20) of elastomeric material having first and second ends. The first end of the elongated string (20) is connected to the apex portion of the dome, and the second end is connected to a loop (26) for removing the cap from a vaginal cavity. The loop is intended to remain outside the vaginal cavity when the cap is positioned over the cervix.
