WHAT ARE PESSARIES?

INTRODUCTION

The use of vaginal pessaries within conservative therapy is a proven method of supporting the pelvic floor when treating prolapse complaints and incontinence issues. It has been successfully used for many years and is becoming a popular treatment option.

Pessaries are a cost effective, simple and reversible treatment for prolapse and stress incontinence. Pessaries provide an alternative to costly surgery and the potential for associated complications. The Profem Pessary range is made from Hypo-allergenic Medical grade silicone.

ProFem® pessaries are available in a wide range of types and sizes and cater for nearly all indications in relation to pelvic floor disorders and incontinence.

These high-quality pessaries have been successfully established in many markets throughout the world.

INFORMATION

PESSARY THERAPY

The treatment of pelvic floor conditions with pessaries has been widely used for centuries in many cultures. Pessaries can for example be placed in the vagina as a conservative therapy for prolapse and stress incontinence.

Evidence of pessary use dates back to ancient Egypt. Natural products were among the first devices used as pessaries, later these were manufactured of glass, porcelain, clay and rubber. The Profem range of pessaries is made of a hypo-allergenic medical grade silicone.

The success of the pessary therapy depends initially on the choice oft he right pessary type and size. Before using a pessary the medical condition needs to be examined by a specialist to rule out contraindications and possible risks. Ideally the patient should be trained by the healthcare professional to insert and remove the pessary herself. ProFem supports healthcare professionals with unique fitting sets which are available for most types of pessaries.

It is recommended that the pessary is removed and cleaned on a regular basis determined with your healthcare professional. Some pessary types may be used over a longer uninterrupted period and a regular appointment schedule would be arranged with your healthcare professional.

Pessary therapy is a well accepted, cost-efficient and effective treatment for many
pelvic floor disorders that is usually covered by healthcare insurance.

P.O.P.S. RULER
ACCESSORIES

The POP-Q score is the main clinical tool used to identify the severity of pelvic organ prolapse, and the anatomical success of conservative therapy and surgery. To date, there has been no easy-to-use measuring device with which to perform POP-Q scores.

Currently many gynecologists make-do using swabs, pap smear sticks, fingers or pipelles etc. to measure POP-Q values, making measurements imprecise and rather cumbersome. The POPs ruler has been designed to offer a more specific, precise and hygienic measuring tool.

POPs ruler offers the following benefits:

  • consistent results
  • easy-to-use
  • cost effectiveness
  • hygienical
  • usable in clinic and research setting
  • made of recyclable material

The P.O.P.s. ruler is available in packages of 20 pieces.
