UHS Simpson Shelf Pessaries No:17

Exceptional Support for Advanced Pelvic Organ Prolapse – Extra-Wide Fit

The Simpson Shelf Pessary (Size 17) from Universal represents the pinnacle of support in conservative pelvic floor care. Specifically engineered for patients requiring the widest fit available, this pessary offers superior retention and stability for managing severe uterine prolapse, cystocele, or rectocele—particularly when surgical options are not suitable or desired.

Crafted from durable, latex-free materials, this device ensures safety for individuals with latex allergies while maintaining patient comfort and reliable performance. Although non-sterile, the Simpson Shelf Pessary is intended for repeated use by the same patient after cleaning with warm, soapy water, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term use.

The pessary’s black color enhances visual contrast, simplifying insertion and removal for clinicians and reducing the risk of misplacement. Its Size 17 design offers the maximum diameter and structural strength within the Simpson range, meeting the needs of patients who require the most expansive support.
