Clinical Pessary Fitting Kit — 2026 OB-GYN Practice Buyer's Guide
Share
Building an in-office pessary fitting kit is one of the highest-ROI investments an OB-GYN or urogynecology practice can make. A single fitting kit lasts 3-5 years, enables same-visit fitting for prolapse patients, and generates $80-$400 in billable procedure revenue per patient. This 2026 buyer's guide covers what to look for in a clinical fitting kit, cost comparison vs Milex/Bioteque distributor pricing, NET-30 institutional procurement, sterilization workflow, and how SciMed's $289.99 kit compares to alternatives.
SciMed Clinical Pessary Fitting Kit — 7 Sizes
Sizes 2-8 · $289.99 (vs $550-$1,200 through Milex/Bioteque distributors)
View kit →Quick answer for practice managers
For a solo OB-GYN through a 4-provider group, a 7-size ring pessary fitting kit is the standard first purchase. Sizes 2-8 cover ~85% of adult patient fittings based on published data. Practices typically bill for:
- E&M visit (99213-99214 for established patient, 99204-99205 for new patient)
- Fitting procedure (CPT 57160)
- Pessary supply (HCPCS A4562 for silicone)
Total billable per fitting: $200-$500 depending on payer contract. Kit pays for itself after ~2 fittings.
Why SciMed at $289.99 vs $550-$1,200 elsewhere
Milex (CooperSurgical) and Bioteque sell through medical distributors (Henry Schein, McKesson, MedPro). Each layer adds markup:
- Manufacturer wholesale: ~$100-150 per kit
- Distributor markup: 2-3x = $300-450
- Practice acquisition cost: $550-$1,200 typical
SciMed sells direct-to-practice, cutting the distributor layer. Same medical-grade silicone (USP Class VI). Same FDA 510(k) clearance (Product Code HHN). Same clinical utility. Half the acquisition cost.
What's in the SciMed Clinical Fitting Kit
- 7 silicone ring pessaries, sizes 2-8 (57-95 mm outer diameter)
- Ring With Support model (support diaphragm for SUI + prolapse combined)
- Storage case with numbered compartments

Kit vs individual purchase math
| Purchase option | Cost | Per pessary |
|---|---|---|
| 7 individual SciMed pessaries at $49.99 | $349.93 | $49.99 |
| SciMed Clinical Fitting Kit (7 sizes) | $289.99 | $41.43 |
| Milex 7-size kit via distributor | $550-$900 | $78-$128 |
| Bioteque 7-size kit via distributor | $600-$1,200 | $85-$171 |
SciMed Kit savings vs Milex: $260-$610 upfront + easier restock via direct-order.
Sterilization + reuse workflow
Fitting kit pessaries are for in-office trial fitting only, NOT for patient take-home. Between patients:
- Rinse pessary with warm water immediately after use
- Clean with mild unscented soap + water (mechanical action, no abrasives)
- Rinse thoroughly (soap residue causes tissue irritation)
- Autoclave-safe (silicone tolerates standard steam autoclave cycles) OR soak in enzymatic detergent + high-level disinfectant per practice policy
- Air dry in numbered compartment
- Track sterilization log per practice infection control policy
Note: SciMed pessaries meet USP Class VI biocompatibility standards and tolerate repeated sterilization for the kit's 3-5 year useful life.
Which patient scenarios does the kit unlock?
- Same-visit fitting: patient presents with prolapse symptoms, gets diagnosed + fitted in single visit
- Postpartum evaluation: 6-week postpartum with new pelvic pressure, immediate size test
- Perimenopausal patients: trial fit before deciding on device
- Second-opinion consults: quick size verification vs prior provider recommendation
- Post-surgical follow-up: fitting for temporary support during recovery
Practice revenue math
Example calculation for a solo OB-GYN doing 4 pessary fittings per month:
- E&M 99214 established patient: ~$130 (Medicare) / $180 (commercial average)
- CPT 57160 fitting procedure: ~$60 (Medicare) / $90 (commercial)
- HCPCS A4562 supply: ~$80 (Medicare) / $150 (commercial) if pessary dispensed from your practice
- Per patient: $270-$420
- 4 fittings/month = $1,080-$1,680/month
- $12,960-$20,160 annual revenue from a $290 kit purchase
Kit payback: 1-2 patients. Positive ROI from patient 3 onward.
