Industrially manufactured cotton wool tampons have been used for 5 years on approx. 5,000 women. The tampons were used in cases of inflammatory diseases of the vagina and of the cervix as well as postoperatively after abdominal and vaginal operations in order to apply medicaments. The absorbing effect of the tampons immediately stops the disagreeable secretion. The insertion of the tampons is simple and can be performed by the women themselves. Use of the pre-fabricated tampons is more economical than that of those tampons developed by our personnel. The advantages of the tampons during menstruation as well as during sports activities while menstruating are discussed. No side effects were observed during tampon use provided the tampons were inserted correctly.
工业生产的脱脂棉塞已在约5000名女性身上使用了5年。这些棉塞用于治疗阴道炎和宫颈炎，以及腹部和阴道手术后的术后用药。棉塞的吸收作用能立即止住令人不适的分泌物。棉塞插入简单，女性自己就能操作。使用预制棉塞比我们人员研制的棉塞更经济。文中还讨论了棉塞在月经期间以及经期进行体育活动时的优点。只要正确插入棉塞，使用过程中未观察到副作用。
