Abstract
Abstract A method and devices for the prevention of transmission of venereal diseases and non-gonococcal genital infection which includes methods, such as contraceptive and non-contraceptive creams, jellies, foams, etc., and/or methods involving mechanical birth control devices such as condoms and cervical caps and vaginal diaphragms incorporating medication receptacles functioning to release medication in the form of contraceptive and non-contraceptive creams, jellies, foams, etc. by seepage or wall breaching during intercourse to expose the genital organs involved in intercourse to the medication and thus prevent the transmission of disease organisms.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
57 words
A method of treating and preventing venereal disease and providing birth control which comprises encapsulating a liquid venereal disease preventing medication in the distal end of a condom, providing an easily burstable wall in the encapsulation, and causing release of said medication by rupture of the burstable wall of the encapsulation during intercourse to protect the participants.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
57 words
A method of treating and preventing venereal disease and providing birth control which comprises encapsulating a liquid venereal disease preventing medication in the distal end of a condom, providing an easily burstable wall in the encapsulation, and causing release of said medication by rupture of the burstable wall of the encapsulation during intercourse to protect the participants.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
62 words
A birth control and venereal disease treating and prevention device comprising a mechanical birth control device, a pouch formed in the wall of said device, thin breach portions integrally formed in the wall of said pouch to rupture under pressure, and a venereal medication in said pouch to be released by the bursting of said portions during intercourse to protect the participants.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
A birth control and venereal disease treating and prevention device comprising a mechanical birth control device, a pouch formed in the wall of said device, thin breach portions integrally formed in the wall of said pouch to rupture under pressure, and a venereal medication in said pouch to be released by the bursting of said portions during intercourse to protect the participants.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A device as defined in claim 2 in which said pouch is formed in the distal end of a condom, and said breach portions are formed in a septum wall separating said medication from the interior of said condom.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
A device as defined in claim 2 in which said pouch is formed on the outside of the distal end of a condom, and said breach portions are formed in the outer wall of said pouch.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A device as defined in claim 2 in which a wall of said pouch is formed of a permeable material such as Silastic.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
66 words
A method of providing birth control and treating and preventing venereal disease which comprises encapsulating a venereal disease preventing medication in a wall of a mechanical birth control device with a thin flexible wall as one wall of the encapsulation, and providing a weak burstable area in said wall to form an outlet for the medication which opens under pressure in the use of the device.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
66 words
A method of providing birth control and treating and preventing venereal disease which comprises encapsulating a venereal disease preventing medication in a wall of a mechanical birth control device with a thin flexible wall as one wall of the encapsulation, and providing a weak burstable area in said wall to form an outlet for the medication which opens under pressure in the use of the device.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
A birth control and venereal disease treating and prevention method as defined in claim 6 in which the medication includes Trichomonacides and Moniliacides.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method as defined in claim 6 which includes forming a wall of said encapsulation of a permeable material such as Silastic.
