The Ring Pessary is a circular, flexible medical device made of medical-grade silicone that is inserted into the vagina to support weakened pelvic tissues. It is one of the most commonly used types of pessaries due to its simple design and ease of use. Some versions have a central support membrane for added stability.

Applications

Ring pessaries are primarily used to manage:

1. Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) – Supports the uterus, bladder, or rectum in cases of mild to moderate prolapse.

2. Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) – Helps prevent urine leakage by supporting the urethra.

3. Pregnancy Support – Occasionally used to help prevent preterm labor by providing cervical support.

4. Post-Surgical Support – Can be used after pelvic surgery to maintain structural integrity during healing.
