ABSTRACT:
A pessary for vaginal use that prevents rotation after insertion is disclosed. An oval shape prevents rotation of the pessary once installed and a novel unitary molded structure with different hardnesses of biocompatible material eliminates the use of wire inserts that can become exposed and injure the user while facilitating folding of the pessary during insertion and removal. Further embodiments add an inner membrane to aid in controlling uterine prolapse and a novel raised portion or porch to support the urethra and control incontinence.
