Effectiveness & safety of a novel, collapsible pessary for management of pelvic organ prolapse

Pessaries are an effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse, yet currently available pessaries can cause discomfort with removal and insertion. An early feasibility trial of an investigational, collapsible pessary (Figures 1A and 1B) previously demonstrated mechanical feasibility during a brief 15-minute office trial. Longer term, patient-centered safety and efficacy data is needed.
