"No pessary works as good as the real thing. But this SciMed ring pessary is as close as I have come for my uterine prolapse. The last few years I have had at least a dozen pessaries and multiple doctor appointments and fittings of various sizes and shapes — and this has been the best. If you do not want surgery and have had difficulty getting a suitable pessary, try here before giving up."

What Is a Vaginal Pessary?
A vaginal pessary is a removable device inserted into the vagina to provide structural support to pelvic organs that have prolapsed or dropped from their normal position. They are the most commonly recommended non-surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse and are prescribed by gynaecologists and pelvic floor specialists worldwide.
Types of Pessaries
There are several types of pessaries available, but the ring pessary is by far the most commonly prescribed. SciMed Store manufactures and supplies two types of ring pessaries from our San Jose, California facility:
Ring Pessary With Support
The ring pessary with support features a membrane across the centre of the ring, providing additional bladder neck support. It is recommended for patients with both pelvic organ prolapse and concurrent stress urinary incontinence. Available in sizes 0 to 8.

Ring Pessary Without Support
The ring pessary without support is a simple ring device — the most commonly prescribed pessary for mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse. It is easy for patients to self-manage at home. Available in sizes 0 to 9, offering the widest size range of any US supplier.

What Real Customers Say
"Must say very prompt. Great product. No complaints. I was able to keep my bladder up, and they followed up with phone calls to make sure that thing was in place."
