Flexibility and Ease of use for your Treatment

The FlexiShelf pessary helps relieve symptoms of a cystocele and second or third degree uterine prolapse. Its curved shape supports the prolapse and makes it more comfortable to wear. The base is shaped to fit well.

The tapered rigid stem makes it easier to grip and twist the device for removal.

How does the FlexiShelf pessary work?

The FlexiShelf pessary is inserted horizontally into the vagina and rests against the vaginal walls. Its large circular surface supports the organs and prevents them from descending.

Where can i use the FlexiShelf pessary?

Uterine prolapse

The uterus is supported by the ‘hammock-like’ combination of pelvic floor muscles, tissue and ligaments.
When these structures are too weak the uterus slips downwards from its natural anatomical position into the vaginal cavity.
In severe cases in some women it may be visible outside the vagina.

Cystocele

A cystocele occurs when the bladder pushes into the vagina. Depending on the grade of prolapse this can be from a grade one where the bladder bulges into the vaginal wall to the most severe where the bulge appears through the entrance of the vagina.

Proper Cleaning Instructions for Vaginal Pessaries
