UHS Simpson Shelf Pessaries No: 18

Maximum-Diameter Support for Complex Pelvic Organ Prolapse

The Simpson Shelf Pessary (Size 18) by Universal is the ultimate option in non-surgical pelvic organ prolapse (POP) management, offering the largest diameter available in the Simpson range. It is specifically designed to provide exceptional structural support for patients experiencing advanced prolapse conditions such as third-degree uterine prolapse, cystocele, or rectocele.

This extra-extra-wide pessary is ideal for women who require the most comprehensive anatomical fit to achieve comfort, retention, and symptom relief. It is made from high-quality, latex-free materials to accommodate patients with latex allergies or sensitivities, and it is intended for repeated use by the same patient after appropriate cleaning with warm, soapy water—ensuring cost-effectiveness in long-term care settings.

Though non-sterile, this device is safe and reliable when cleaned properly, and its distinct black color enhances visibility during insertion, positioning, and removal, making it easier to handle in both clinical and self-managed care environments.

• Reusable for the same patient after appropriate cleaning

• Non-sterile – clean before each use
