AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing pessaries for pelvic organ prolapse treatment often fail due to improper fit, leading to side effects such as pain, erosion, excessive discharge, and urinary and bowel problems, and are difficult to insert and remove, with many women discontinuing use within a year.

Method used

A vaginal device with an elongated base element, inflatable element, and adjustable support members, allowing for patient-specific adjustments in length, inflation, and positioning to fit individual anatomical structures, reducing the risk of falling out and providing comfortable, easy insertion and removal.

Benefits of technology

The device provides a comfortable, patient-friendly solution that minimizes side effects, reduces the need for frequent medical visits, and allows for self-management, offering a cost-effective alternative to surgery by adapting to anatomical changes over time.
