Detailed Description

The Milli Vaginal Dilator is a patient-controlled vaginal dilator that provides therapy through distention of the vaginal tissue under electromechanical expansion.

This study is intended to provide data in support of the Milli Vaginal Dilator as a commercially available, over-the-counter medical device.

The Milli has been granted marketing authorization by the FDA under premarket notification K220035 for the following Indications for Use statement:

The Milli Vaginal Dilator is a tool indicated for controlled dilation of the vagina. It can be used for dilation for an examination (by your doctor), in preparation for a surgical procedure, or to help relieve the symptoms of vaginismus (condition that involves tightening of the vaginal muscles) and related painful sex.
