DR. ARABIN® Urethra pessary

Indication
Stress incontinence
Mixed forms of stress and urge incontinence

Category:

Description

The urethra pessary is crafted from high-quality silicone and should be stored in a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C, shielded from UV radiation. To preserve its integrity, avoid exposure to reactive substances, gases, ozone, and mineral oil.

Each model undergoes rigorous calibration via compression testing to ensure consistent folding effort across all sizes, maintaining uniform performance and ease of use.

Application/Intended purpose

The pessary is primarily indicated for patients with stress incontinence, where the pelvic floor is strong enough to support the device. It may help prevent the worsening of stress incontinence by reinforcing the area between the bladder and urethra, preventing the upper urethra from opening during stress events like coughing or physical activity. Additionally, the device can reduce urine leakage into the urethra, which may also have a positive impact on urge incontinence or a combination of stress and urge incontinence.

Note

The maximal uninterrupted period of application is 30 days(Class IIa). It is recommended that the patient changes the pessary herself, i.e. she should remove it every evening and insert it in the morning. The patient should be trained about application or change of the device by a healthcare professional.

The first generation of the urethra pessary contained a metal spring for stabilization, which can affect test results (e.g. CT, MRI, X-ray), or security controls (e.g. at the airport) and might require removal. On special indications these pessaries can still be produced by our company on request.

The product must not be used by other patients. The pessary may be cleaned under running water without using disinfectant.

Application, monitoring and removal

The instructions are revised according to published studies and post-clinical follow-up.

The most recent version is located in Downloads / Instructions.
