The uresta^® pessary was developed by Dr. Scott Farrell, a urogynecologist based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada with over 19 years experience treating women with urinary incontinence (view Dr. Farrell’s CV). Dr. Farrell recognized that there was a gap in the treatment options for women with stress incontinence and developed the uresta^® pessary to fill this gap. The uresta^® pessary set underwent testing for safety and effectiveness in a two-year prospective pilot study.

The study revealed that 76% of women, successfully fitted with the uresta^® pessary, went on to use it for the 12-month study and beyond. The uresta^® pessary significantly reduced incontinence by both objective and subjective measures (view American Journal article). Most of these women were extremely pleased by the effectiveness of the uresta^® pessary and the ease of use (view testimonials).
