Cup Pessary Without Support
The Cup pessary without supporting membrane is designed for use in cases of first-degree or mild second-degree uterine prolapse, providing gentle support where a lighter pessary option is appropriate.
Made from medical-grade silicone, the cup pessary offers a comfortable and effective solution for managing early-stage prolapse, while remaining easy to fit and manage. The open design, without a reinforcing membrane, makes it suitable where minimal internal support is required.
For patients requiring additional support, or where symptoms include cystocele or stress urinary incontinence, alternative options such as a cup pessary with support or a urethral shell pessary may be considered, depending on clinical need.

Insertion & Removal
Insertion
The pessary is gently folded and inserted into the vagina, where it unfolds and positions to provide support. The cup shape helps it remain in place through light suction, while the supporting membrane provides additional lift. Correct sizing and placement are essential to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Initial fitting should be carried out by a healthcare professional, who may provide guidance on independent management where appropriate.
Removal
To remove, gently break the suction by pressing a finger against the rim of the cup before easing it downward and out of the vagina. Removal frequency should follow clinical advice. The device should be cleaned regularly and reviewed periodically to ensure continued suitability and vaginal health.
