Abstract
A process for making a multicomponent microbicidal contraceptive intravaginal ringed-mesh device that includes forming a polymeric, fibrous mesh and adjoining a reinforcing yarn about the periphery of the fibrous mesh. The process further involves forming a polymeric ring matrix, that includes at least one contraceptive agent on the reinforced fibrous mesh, thereby encasing the reinforcing yarn and the mesh periphery, and applying at least one bioactive agent to the ringed-mesh.
