Function

The uresta^® pessary is not a drug, it is a medical device made from medical-grade non-latex rubber. It is inserted into the vagina (much like a tampon) to support the bladder. Once inserted it supports your own anatomy, stops unwanted urine loss and lets you urinate naturally.

The uresta^® pessary's unique, self-positioning design is a new solution for stress urinary incontinence.  It is self-positioning and you should not feel it inside once properly fitted by your healthcare professional.

Effectiveness

The uresta^® pessary is an alternative for women - who are not happy using pads and want to avoid surgery – to take charge of their urine loss.

Vaginal Health

Did you know that as women age their vaginal tissues change?

Vaginal atrophy is thinning and inflammation of the vaginal tissues. It is caused by a decline in estrogen. The vaginal tissues become drier, less elastic, and more fragile. It often occurs after menopause. Women with vaginal atrophy may experience vaginal dryness, vaginal burning, or discomfort with sexual intercourse. 

Women with vaginal atrophy may have some discomfort when using the uresta^® pessary. Insertion and removal of the pessary may cause spotting or light bleeding.

There are effective treatments for vaginal atrophy. You should see your doctor if you have vaginal dryness or discomfort. Local estrogen replacement therapy may help.
