All MediCare Gynae pessaries are a Class IIa Medical Device intended for short-term use (up to 30 days) and self-management.
A ring pessary with a knob is primarily used to manage pelvic organ prolapse and sometimes stress urinary incontinence (SUI). It’s one of the most commonly used and well-tolerated pessary types, especially for mild to moderate cases.
When to Use a Ring with Knob Pessary:
Mild to Moderate Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Stage I or II uterine prolapse, cystocele, or rectocele
Offers structural support while being easy to insert and remove
Combined Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
The knob provides urethral support, acting like a backstop to reduce urine leakage with physical activity (e.g., coughing, sneezing, exercise)
First-Line or Trial Pessary
Often used as an initial option to assess symptom relief or patient tolerance before trying other types
