A medical device operable to prevent reflux in the cervix is disclosed. The device includes a shield operable to cover the external os and an arm operable to penetrate the endocervical canal with a bore extending therethrough, wherein the arm includes a sleeve containing a fluid that is operable to conform to the contours of the inner lining of the endocervical canal, thus creating a strong, more efficient fluid-tight seal between the device and the surrounding tissue.

Medical device for preventing reflux in the cervix

A medical device and method for artificial insemination are provided. The medical device has a shield and an arm secured to the shield at one end and extending outwardly from the shield. The arm is inserted into the cervical canal of a patient and the shield covers the external os of the patient. By inserting the medical device into a patient's cervical canal after insemination, a physical barrier that holds a semen sample within the cervical canal and prevents leakage from the cervical canal back into the vaginal cavity is established. The device may have a bore extending through the device for a catheter to pass through. The bore has a valve to allow passage of the catheter and prevent backflow of semen. The arm may have a circumferential bulge to help keep the device in place during use.

Device and method for artificial insemination

A kit and method for intrauterine insemination is provided. The steps of the method include self-monitoring of a menstrual cycle of a patient by said patient, making an abrasion on the endometrial lining of a uterus of the patient following menstruation by the patient, predicting timing of ovulation by using an ovulation monitoring system or inducing ovulation; preparing sperm for insemination during ovulation by the patient, guiding an intrauterine insemination catheter accompanied by a cervical shield into the patient, depositing a semen sample into the uterine cavity or cervical canal, removing the catheter from the body of the patient while using a holding tool to hold the cervical shield in place at the entrance to the uterine cavity, and leaving the cervical shield in place for a predetermined time period.

System and method for intrauterine insemination

The disclosed invention comprises a device that utilizes a manually controlled articulating arm to make a precise, small abrasion on the intrauterine wall prior to ovulation. The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a handle, an arm having a rigid portion and an articulating tip both of which are covered by a casing having non-irritant properties, wherein the handle is connected to the arm by a connection member that contains a trigger mechanism operable to move the articulating tip by pulling a trigger.

Device and method for improving implantation of fertilized egg during pregnancy

The disclosed artificial insemination system comprises a cervical plug, catheter, and positioning tool. The cervical plug comprises a shield configured to cover an orifice, an arm attached to one side of the shield that is operable to be inserted into the cervical canal, and an insert member on the other side of the shield. A bore disposed within the cervical plug and extending through the insert member, shield, and arm is operable to receive the catheter used to deposit the semen sample. The positioning tool comprises a handle with a stem extending longitudinally therefrom and terminating at a bracket that is operable to receive the insert member and catheter and assist in preventing the cervical plug from becoming dislodged when the catheter is removed. A further object of this invention is the process by which the disclosed system is used to increase the efficacy of artificial insemination.
