Malaysia became news with an unconventional but still very practical innovation: the world’s first male and female condom.
According to the report on October 28 Reuters, A gynecologist in Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysia commercialized what he called the world’s first condom, which can be worn by both women and men due to its specific characteristics.
The development of the neutral condom attracted the attention of the local media a few years ago, but there was no medical classification at that time. It was made of a medical-grade material, usually used as a liquid bandage for wounds and wounds, and had a viscosity. The cover can be attached to either the vagina or the penis, said John Tang Ing Chinh, a gynecologist at Twin Catalyst, a Malaysian medical supplies company.
He added that the adhesive is only applied to one side of the condom, which means that any sex can be used upside down.
Better control of sexual health
Tang said that he hopes that this innovative condom will serve as a sales Wondaleaf unisex condom, Will “enable people to better control their sexual health regardless of gender or sexual orientation.”
Each box of Wondaleaf contains two condoms and is priced at 14.99 ringgit (3.61 US dollars). The average price of a dozen condoms in Malaysia is between 20 and 40 ringgits.
Tang uses polyurethane to make condoms. Polyurethane is a material used for transparent wound dressings. It is thin and flexible, but strong and waterproof.
“Once you put it on, you usually don’t realize it’s there,” he referred to clinical trials.
Sales start in December
Tang said that Wondaleaf has gone through several rounds of clinical research and testing, and will conduct commercial sales through the company’s website in December this year.
“Based on the number of clinical trials we have conducted, I am optimistic that if there is time, it will become a meaningful addition to many contraceptive methods used to prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases,” Tang said.
