Abstract

An intravaginal bio-erodible microbicidal barrier device. The device comprises (a) at least one micronized compound selected from the group consisting of cellulose acetate phthalate and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate, and (b) at least one pectin, such as an apple pectin, and optionally at least one water soluble or water dispersible cellulose compound selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxyethylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylethylcellulose and hydroxypropylethylcellulose. The device is prepared by a combination of foaming, freezing and freeze-drying processes.
