Product catalog summary

Overview: The Milex® Pessary Reference Guide provides detailed information on using pessaries for managing pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). These noninvasive devices serve as a first-line therapy option, helping to reposition pelvic organs and enhance quality of life.

Specifications: Milex pessaries come in various sizes and shapes, allowing customization based on individual patient needs. They are made from materials like silicone and metal, with some models compatible with sexual activity.

Types of Pessaries: Pessaries are categorized into support and space-occupying types. Common support pessaries include the Ring, Ring with Knob, and Shaatz, while space-occupying options include the Donut and Gellhorn. Each type targets specific conditions such as mild prolapse, cystocele, or rectocele.

Fitting Process: Pessary fitting involves a trial-and-error process, assessing the patient's pelvic anatomy and lifestyle. A well-fitted pessary should not be felt by the patient and should stay in place during activities like squatting or coughing.

Product Offerings: The guide lists various Milex pessary products, each with specific indications and sizes. For instance, the Incontinence Ring is used for stress urinary incontinence, while the Gellhorn is suitable for third-degree prolapse.

FAQs: The guide addresses common questions about pessary selection, fitting, and troubleshooting, emphasizing individualized care and the potential need to try different pessary types for optimal results.

Conclusion: Milex pessaries offer an effective, non-surgical option for managing POP and SUI. Proper selection and fitting are crucial for optimal results, with the guide providing detailed instructions and product information to assist healthcare providers in delivering personalized care.

Manufacturer Instructions for Use: This document provides guidance on selecting and fitting pessaries for patients with pelvic organ prolapse, highlighting the importance of considering the patient's pelvic exam, vaginal depth, and lifestyle.

Patient Lifestyle Considerations: Active patients who prefer self-care should use pessaries that are easy to remove and clean, while those with physical limitations may benefit from more secure pessaries.

Sizing and Fitting: Pessary fitting is a trial-and-error process. A properly fitted pessary should not be felt by the patient, and alternative sizes or shapes should be tried if the initial choice is unsuitable.

Indications and Functions: Different pessaries serve specific functions and are designed for various pelvic floor disorders, such as an Incontinence Dish with Support for stress urinary incontinence and anterior vaginal wall prolapse.

Individualized Care: The document emphasizes the need for individualized care, considering the different sizes, shapes, and insertion processes of pessaries to meet specific patient needs.
