Award-winning research, headed to market

This research won first place at the Mines Undergraduate Research Symposium. Now it's headed to the market, to actually help alleviate the pain millions of women live with every month.

In plain English

What's a hydrogel?

It's a material made up of a 3D polymer network that can absorb fluid. Everyday items include...

Wound dressings

Contact lenses

Orbeez

Scientists use hydrogels because they're:

Flexible Biocompatible, safe for your body Great for controlled release drug delivery Non-toxic
Why localized delivery

Why not just take a pill?

Although we're accustomed to taking pills such as ibuprofen, it might not be the most effective or safe option.

  • The drug travels through your bloodstream and your entire body, so only a fraction of it ever makes it to where it actually hurts.
  • It takes 30 to 60 minutes for your body to even absorb the drug, so relief takes a long time to arrive.
  • Consistent NSAID usage has been shown to damage your health, from stomach ulcers to cardiovascular strain.
Why this is different

Built around an unmet need.

Localized delivery

Relief works right where it's needed, not your whole body first.

Faster relief

Local delivery means relief doesn't have to travel through your whole body first.

Fits your routine

It's the tampon you're already using, not one more thing to remember.

Safer material

Cotton can dry out the vaginal canal and may contain harmful chemicals and heavy metals. Hydrogels are designed for medical use, hydrating instead of drying while still holding plenty of fluid.
