Shaatz Pessary



The Shaatz Pessary is a highly flexible, soft silicone pessary with a convex shape designed to obtain a snug vaginal fit, built-in drainage ports that allow the passage of fluids and facilitate easier patient self-removal, and a clinical indication for second and third-degree uterine prolapse and cystocele. The convex profile and drainage port design make it particularly practical for patients with sufficient dexterity to self-manage their pessary — the ports reduce fluid accumulation and the shape supports independent insertion and removal.

Indicated For — Conditions Treated

  • Second-degree uterine prolapse — primary indication; convex shape provides secure pelvic floor contact for moderate prolapse presentations
  • Third-degree uterine prolapse — effective for advanced prolapse where a snug, stable fit is required
  • Cystocele — anterior vaginal wall prolapse (bladder herniation); Shaatz provides anterior compartment support alongside uterine prolapse management
  • Patients capable of self-management — the drainage port design specifically facilitates easier independent insertion and removal for patients with sufficient dexterity; well suited for patients who prefer to manage their own pessary care
  • Patients where fluid accumulation is a concern during wear — drainage ports allow continuous natural fluid passage, reducing discharge buildup associated with solid pessaries worn for longer intervals

Note: Pessary fitting and ongoing management should be performed or supervised by a qualified healthcare professional. A Pessary Sizing Chart is available for clinical reference. This product is Rx only — a valid prescription or professional license is required prior to shipment.


How It Works — Convex Shape & Drainage Port Design

The Shaatz Pessary is a dish-type pessary with two distinctive design features that set it apart from other pessaries in the same general category. The first is its convex shape — where a standard dish or ring pessary sits relatively flat against the vaginal walls, the Shaatz's convex profile creates a more pronounced contact curve against the vaginal epithelium, enabling a snug, secure fit that resists displacement during activity. This makes it particularly effective for second and third-degree prolapse where a more stable fit is clinically desirable.

The second key feature is the built-in drainage ports. These openings in the pessary body allow vaginal secretions to pass through the device during wear rather than accumulating around it — which is particularly valuable for patients who wear the pessary for extended intervals between removal. The drainage ports serve a dual clinical function: they reduce the discharge buildup and associated odor risk that can accompany solid pessaries worn continuously, and they provide purchase points that make the pessary easier for the patient to grasp and remove independently. For patients with sufficient dexterity, the Shaatz's drainage port design makes it one of the more self-management-friendly options among the more advanced pessary types. The highly flexible, soft silicone construction is gentle to vaginal tissue and withstands disinfection for ongoing reuse.

Pessary Type Best For
Shaatz Pessary Second and third-degree prolapse with cystocele; patients preferring self-management; patients where fluid drainage during wear is a priority; snug convex fit needed
Dish Pessary (with/without support) Second and third-degree prolapse with cystocele and/or rectocele; available with support membrane; also may relieve SUI; broader contact profile without drainage ports
Ring Pessary First and second-degree prolapse; standard first-choice pessary before stepping up to dish or Shaatz designs
  • Convex shape — provides snug, secure vaginal wall contact for stable fit during activity
  • Drainage ports — allow continuous fluid passage during wear; reduce discharge accumulation risk
  • Drainage ports also facilitate easier patient self-removal — a practical advantage for self-managing patients
  • Highly flexible and soft silicone — comfortable for long-term wear, gentle to vaginal tissue
  • Suitable for patients with sufficient dexterity to manage independent insertion and removal
  • Disinfectable — supports ongoing reuse under clinical supervision
  • 9 sizes ensure accurate fitting across a wide range of anatomies
