Apparatus including a cylindrical body and a nub

1. An apparatus comprising:

a syringe consisting of:

a substantially cylindrical body formed from a first material and including an end portion having rounded edges and at least one opening, the cylindrical body defining a cavity and sized to fit within a woman's vagina;

a plunger sized to fit within the cavity; and

a nub formed from a second material and integrally formed with the substantially cylindrical body and extending from the end portion proximate to the at least one opening, the nub having a substantially rounded end and configured to provide tactile feedback when in contact with a cervix of the woman, the nub having a substantially hemispherical shape.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a fastener element coupled to the substantially cylindrical body and configured to mate to a corresponding feature of the syringe.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the substantially cylindrical body includes:

a proximal end;

a distal end; and

an elongate portion extending therebetween,

wherein the distal end includes a substantially rounded corner relative to the elongate portion.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the nub includes an opening configured to align with the at least one opening of the substantially cylindrical body.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the nub comprises a substantially ring shape.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the substantially cylindrical body is sized to fit within a vaginal canal and to extend proximate to the cervix of the woman.

7. An apparatus comprising:

a syringe consisting of: a plunger;

a cylindrical body formed of a first material and having a proximal end, a distal end and an elongate portion extending therebetween, the elongate portion including an opening at the proximal end and defining a cavity sized to receive the plunger, the distal end having a rounded corner relative to the elongate portion to form a substantially smooth transition from the elongate portion to the distal end, the distal end further including an opening, the cylindrical body sized to fit within a woman's vagina; and

a nub formed of a second material and formed on and extending from the distal end proximate to the opening, the nub having a rounded end and a substantially hemispherical shape and configured to space the cylindrical body from a cervix when inserted into the woman's vagina during an artificial insemination procedure.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the nub comprises a substantially annular shape.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the nub comprises a substantially elliptical shape.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the nub includes an opening configured to align with the opening of the distal end.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising a sheath defining a cavity sized to receive the cylindrical body and including an opening configured to align to the opening of the distal end.

12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the cylindrical body includes an attachment element configured to mate with a corresponding attachment feature of the syringe to secure the cylindrical body to the syringe.

13. An apparatus comprising:

a syringe consisting of: a plunger;

a tubular element formed of a first material and including a body portion and a distal end and including a substantially smooth surface having rounded edges, the distal end including an opening, the body portion defining a cavity and including a plunger opening at a proximal end opposite to the distal end, the plunger opening and the cavity sized to receive the plunger, the tubular element sized to fit within a woman's vagina; and

a nub formed of a second material and formed on the tubular element and extending from the distal end proximate to the opening and having a substantially hemispherical shape, the nub configured to provide tactile feedback when in contact with a cervix of the woman.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , further comprising an attachment element configured to mate with a corresponding attachment feature of the syringe to secure the tubular element to the syringe.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the tubular element comprises a cap configured to couple to the syringe.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the nub comprises a substantially annular shape.

17. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the nub is integrally formed with the tubular element.

18. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the tubular element is sized to tit within a vaginal canal and to extend proximate to the cervix of the woman.
