Scope note: Preservativo de poliuretano, suave y holgado, cerrado en un extremo, y con anillos flexibles en ambos extremos. El dispositivo se inserta en la vagina comprimiendo el anillo interno y empujándolo hacia adentro. Cuando está en la posición adecuada, el anillo que está en el extremo cerrado cubre el cuello del útero, y el preservativo cubre las paredes de la vagina. El anillo exterior permanece fuera de la vagina, cubriendo los labios vulvares. (Traducción libre del original: Med Lett Drugs Ther 1993 Dec 24;35(12):123)
