Gellhorn Pessary with Drain, Size #3
A 2.25 inch silicone Gellhorn pessary with a drainage feature, size #3, used to support the pelvic organs in the management of prolapse.
25 inches, used in the non-surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse. Its design includes a flat base that sits against the vaginal wall for stability along with a built in drainage feature, allowing fluid to pass through the device rather than collecting behind it, which can help reduce irritation and odour with longer term use.
This listing is size #3, non-sterile, and made from latex free silicone, with the range extending across sizes #2 to #6 to accommodate different patient anatomies. Gynaecologists, urogynaecologists, and specialist nurses fit and monitor this pessary in outpatient clinics, adjusting the size as needed based on patient comfort and effectiveness at supporting the prolapse.
Being a silicone device, it is more flexible and generally more comfortable for longer term wear than some rigid pessary designs, though correct fitting by a trained clinician remains important. Gynaecology and urogynaecology clinics keep a range of Gellhorn pessary sizes stocked for prolapse management.
