Mediplus Expands its POPY Pessary Product Range

Mediplus has released five new sizes of its POPY (Pelvic Organ Prolapse pessary) product range to complement its existing products, provide a more precise fit, and enhance available treatment options for women suffering from pelvic organ prolapse.

By expanding the POPY pessary range, Mediplus can now better meet the diverse needs of women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Recognizing that one size does not fit all, the range now offers 11 sizes in both short and long stem versions, ensuring a more tailored and effective solution for a wider range of patients. This expansion provides improved support and comfort, offering a practical and personalized approach to POP management. Mediplus developed the new sizes in response to clinician feedback.

Manufactured in the Untied Kingdom, the POPY pessary has long helped manage pelvic organ prolapse and procidentia. Known as the world’s first silicone shelf pessary, it provides a conservative and cost-effective alternative to surgery by alleviating prolapse symptoms, offering a comfortable and non-invasive solution that improves patients’ quality of life.

“We are always striving to develop and improve our products in response to the needs of patients and clinicians alike,” Mediplus Managing Director Emma Gray said. “The addition of 5 new sizes to the POPY pessary range ensures a better fit for more women, allowing us to provide a more effective, comfortable, and tailored solution for managing pelvic organ prolapse. It is part of our ongoing commitment to innovation and patient-centric care.”

The POPY pessary continues to provide important benefits for patients with pelvic organ prolapse. Made from medical-grade silicone, the POPY is soft and flexible, ensuring easy fitting and removal for both patients and clinicians. The material also helps reduce the risk of vaginal erosion, a common complication with harder pessaries. As a non-surgical option, the POPY offers significant cost savings compared to surgical interventions, making it accessible to a wider range of patients.
