Pessary device with longitudinal flexibility

摘要

A non-expandable pessary device, the pessary device having a top, a base, a sidewall that extends between the top and the base, a length measured from the top to the base, a longitudinal axis, a maximum diameter, and a minimum diameter that is less than the maximum diameter, the sidewall, top and base forming an enclosed outer periphery defining a total area of the device. The pessary device has radial symmetry about the longitudinal axis and has a pressure region adapted to extend between an anterior vaginal wall and a posterior vaginal wall of a user to provide pressure on the user's urethra through the anterior vaginal wall.

1. A non-expandable pessary device, the pessary device having a top, a base, a sidewall that extends between the top and the base, a length measured from the top to the base, a longitudinal axis, a maximum diameter, and a minimum diameter that is less than the maximum diameter, the sidewall, top and base forming an enclosed outer periphery defining a total area of the device, the pessary device having radial symmetry about the longitudinal axis and comprising a pressure region adapted to extend between an anterior vaginal wall and a posterior vaginal wall of a user to provide pressure on the user's urethra through the anterior vaginal wall, the pressure region comprising the maximum diameter, the pessary device further comprising a flexile region comprising the minimum diameter, wherein the flexile region is more flexible than the pressure region, wherein the maximum diameter is less than 25 mm and the maximum length is less than 60 mm.
