The Short-stem Gellhorn Pessary is a firm, silicone medical device designed for managing moderate to severe pelvic organ prolapse (POP). It is a variation of the traditional Gellhorn pessary, with a shorter central stem. The shorter stem makes it more comfortable for some patients, especially those who experience discomfort from a longer-stemmed version.

Like the standard Gellhorn, it has a round, concave disc that provides support against the vaginal walls, helping to keep pelvic organs in place. The shorter stem aids in removal while minimizing irritation.

Applications

1. Moderate to Severe Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) - Supports uterine prolapse, cystocele (bladder prolapse), and
   rectocele (rectal prolapse).

2. Patients Experiencing Discomfort with a Standard Gellhorn Pessary - The shorter stem reduces pressure or
    irritation, making it more tolerable.

3. Non-Surgical Alternative to POP Repair Surgery - Ideal for those who cannot or do not wish to undergo
    surgery.

4. Patients who require stronger support than a Ring or Dish Pessary can provide.
