Vaginal Pessary

Description

A vaginal pessary is a medical-grade silicone device placed inside the vagina to provide internal support for the pelvic organs. It is most commonly used to manage pelvic organ prolapse and some forms of stress urinary incontinence, offering an effective, non-surgical treatment option for many women. The devices shown include several popular shapes – such as ring, donut and support pessaries – designed to suit different anatomical needs and degrees of prolapse.

Made from soft, flexible, biocompatible silicone, a pessary is designed to be comfortable for long-term use and gentle on vaginal tissue. The smooth surface allows for easy insertion and removal, and can be cleaned with mild soap and water as directed by a healthcare professional. Multiple sizes are available so a clinician can “fit” the pessary to each patient, ensuring adequate support without discomfort or pressure points.

Key features and benefits

• Non-surgical support for pelvic organ prolapse and selected cases of urinary incontinence

• Soft, flexible silicone construction for comfort and reduced irritation

• Variety of shapes (ring, donut and others) to address different clinical indications

• Reusable and easy to clean when used according to medical guidance

Typical users and applications
Vaginal pessaries are often recommended for women who wish to postpone or avoid surgery, those who are not good surgical candidates, or women who need temporary support after childbirth or around planned operations. They can help relieve symptoms such as a feeling of pelvic heaviness, bulging, or leakage with coughing and exercise, thereby improving mobility and quality of life. With proper fitting, regular follow-up and good personal hygiene, a vaginal pessary is a discreet, reliable and cost-effective solution for long-term prolapse management.
