NCT ID NCT07706491
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a new handle design for the Uresta pessary to the current one in women with stress urinary incontinence. Participants who already use the Uresta will try both handle designs and fill out questionnaires rating their experience. The goal is to see if the new handle makes insertion and removal easier or more convenient.
