The Hodge Pessary is a flexible, U-shaped device made from medical-grade silicone, designed to help support the pelvic organs in cases of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), especially uterine prolapse. It features a short, curved shape that helps lift the prolapsed uterus and provides support for other pelvic organs such as the bladder or rectum. The Hodge pessary is smaller and more comfortable than some other types, making it a good choice for certain patients with mild to moderate prolapse.

Applications

1. Uterine Prolapse - Primarily used for moderate uterine prolapse, the Hodge pessary supports and lifts the uterus back
   into position.

2. Cystocele (Bladder Prolapse) and Rectocele (Rectal Prolapse) - It provides some support to the vaginal walls and
    the bladder and rectum, improving symptoms of prolapse.

3. Non-Surgical Treatment for POP - Suitable for women who prefer conservative management or are not candidates
    for surgery.

4. Postpartum Support - It can also be used temporarily after childbirth to help with recovery from pelvic organ
    relaxation.
