Description
The hodge pessary consists of high-quality silicone with a half-stiff aluminium filling to allow different shaping. It can be stored at temperatures from 1 to 50 °C protected from UV radiation without contact to reactive media, gas, ozone or mineral oil.
Application
The Hodge pessary is used to treat urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse when other models are not tolerated. This can be caused by previous operations or rare genital malformations. The aluminium core allows individual adjustment of the shape. It is assumed that the patient still has (albeit reduced) pelvic floor function. The aim of treatment is to reduce the patient’s prolapse or incontinence symptoms, also combined with additional measures, and to prevent incontinence from deteriorating.
Note
The maximal uninterrupted period of application is 30 days. It is recommended that the patient changes the pessary herself, i.e. she may remove it in the evening and insert it in the morning. The patient should be trained about application, change or additional therapies by healthcare professionals.
The product must not be used by other patients. The pessary may be cleaned by running water without using any disinfectant.
Application, monitoring and removal
The instructions are revised according to published studies and post-clinical follow-up.
