Gellhorn-type vaginal pessary NG03 series

All MediCare Gynae pessaries are a Class IIa Medical Device intended for short-term use (up to 30 days) and self-management. A long stem Gellhorn pessary is typically used in the management of advanced pelvic organ prolapse, particularly in the following situations: When to Use a Long Stem Gellhorn Pessary: Severe or Stage III–IV uterine or vaginal vault prolapse Especially when the vaginal walls are too lax to support other types of pessaries. Post-hysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse The long stem helps anchor the pessary in place when the vaginal apex lacks natural support. Incompetent vaginal introitus When the vaginal opening is too wide or weak to retain a ring or cube pessary. When other pessaries fail or are expelled The Gellhorn’s disk-and-stem design offers better retention in cases where other types fall out. Non-surgical candidates For patients who are not good candidates for surgery due to age, comorbidities, or personal preference The long stem variation is particularly helpful in patients with deeper vaginal canals or greater prolapse descent, where a standard Gellhorn may not stay in position.
