ORIGAMI Internal Condom (OIC)
Origami Condoms, United States
The Origami Internal Condom (OIC) is a partner-initiated, internal condom designed to enhance sensation for both partners, improve ease of use, improve safety, provide direct tactile sensation, minimize slipping and breaking, and to accomodate a range of penis sizes. It replicates a fluid environmnent for the penis consistent with natural intercourse performance.
Unlike a conventional nitrile female condom, the transparent OIC is molded with anatomy-specific design. Its unique material tested 100% biocompatible and non-allergenic in independent preclinical lab testing.
The OIC is inserted vaginally or anally before intercourse. It is intended to be used for contraception and prevention of HIV and other STIs.
The OIC was expected to reach the market in late 2016, but is not yet available, due to pending regulatory pre-market reviews with the CE Mark (EU), WHO, and the United States FDA.
