Ring pessary with knob - Without Support - ProFem

Cost effective treatment for pelvic floor disorders

This ring pessary with knob is also known as a urethral pessary. The ring pessary with knob is made for severe uterine prolapse and to alleviate existing stress incontinence.

Advantage of a Pessary with a knob

The bump on the pessary is what makes the difference in managing incontinence. The "button" presses against the front vaginal wall, where the urethra passes. This results in reduced leakage in your daily life.

What can a ring pessary treat?

Severe Uterus 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.

The ring with knob is used in severe cases. Those cases mean that in some women the uterus may be visible outside the vagina.

Stress incontinence

Stress incontinence is a form of urinary incontinence. It is due to insufficient strength of the closure of the bladder and can occur when pressure on the bladder is increased because of coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercise etc.

Proper Cleaning Instructions for Vaginal Pessaries

The best cleaning method for home use is by using lukewarm water and mild soap. Submerge in the water for approximately 20 minutes.
