FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to obstetrics and gynaecology, and concerns a platform for the delivery of a silver ion releasing compound for treating menorrhagia. The platform comprises a physiologically inert flexible flat spiral sized up to be introduced into a female's uterine cavity, as well as comprises a tissue-necrotising amount of a solid, water-soluble silver salt. The silver ions are delivered to an endometrium to cause the endometrial tissue necrosis. The silver ions stayed inside the uterine cavity can be neutralised by sodium chloride solution delivered to the uterus, e.g. by a catheter, and the carrier can be removed from the uterus.
EFFECT: invention provides extending the range of products, as well as presents the improved agent for treating by more accurate silver nitrate delivery into the uterine cavity.
