Next generation 3D-printed intravaginal ring for prevention of HIV and unintended pregnancy
Biomaterials. 2023 Aug 3;301:122260. doi: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2023.122260. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlobally, there are 20 million adolescent girls and young women living with HIV who have limited access to long-acting, effective, women-controlled preventative methods. Additionally, although there are many contraceptive methods available, globally, half of all pregnancies remain unintended. Here we report the first 3D-printed multipurpose prevention technology (MPT) intravaginal ring (IVR) for HIV prevention and contraception. We utilized continuous liquid interface production (CLIP™) to fabricate MPT IVRs in a b...

The impact of combined contraceptive vaginal ring on vaginal environment: an observational, longitudinal study
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that CVR does not adversely affect the composition and structure of the vaginal microbiome. However, special care should be taken in patients with a history of vestibulodynia and/or recurrent vulvovaginal infections.PMID:37417287 | DOI:10.1080/13625187.2023.2228440 (Source: The European Journal of Contraception and Reproductive Health Care)
