New custom pessary aims to solve fit problems for pelvic organ prolapse
NCT ID NCT06954701
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new pessary that is custom-shaped to each woman's body for treating pelvic organ prolapse (POP). About 43 women who already use a standard pessary will try the new device for 3 months. The goal is to see if the custom fit improves comfort, ease of use, and symptom relief compared to traditional one-size-fits-all pessaries.
