Material : Silicone
Type of prolapse: Cystocele, rectocele complicated with a grade 3 Uterine prolapse
Grade : Treats 2nd and 3rd degree prolapse
The Gehrung pessary is available with or without the support knob. The support knob is used to support a severe cystocele.
It can be used for patients with a cystocele and with or without a rectocele who are also affected by stress incontinence.
The Gehrung as mallable wires coted with silicone on the edges of the pessary and can be molded to suit the patient. The Gehrung pessary sits on the anterior vaginal wall like a bridge, supporting all 3 prolapses if needed. Due to the wires this pessary must be removed if having an ultrasound, MRI or any other type of Xray
The Gehrung pessary is effective in patients whose cystocele tends to slip out when other pessaries are utilised.
It derives its support from the remnants of the levator sling, laterally. It is particularly helpful in treating prolapses which are paired with a rectocele as it avoids pressure on the rectum which, patients may have difficulty with normal bowel movements.
As the Gehrung can be widened manually, it offers a broad support under the bladder and prevents the descent of the uterus.
Note: If you are using the Gehrung with the knob please calculate 1/2", 13mm onto the diameter when measuring for fitting.
