摘要: A method is provided of forming a cervical cap in situ, i.e., within patient's body, which will substantially completely conform to the shape cervix, allowing be left place over an extended period time. The invention includes steps positioning snugly fitting rim member around exocervix, mounting shell member, having aperture, onto such that and exocervix define cavity, injecting curable material through aperture fill cavity. After allowed harden, entire assembly removed from patient cured material.
