Devices and methods for pelvic organ prolapse alleviation

A device sized and shaped for alleviating organ prolapse when inserted into a vagina, comprising:

• (a) an adjustably flexible, planar ring;
• (b) a telescoping locking mechanism extending in a central axis of the ring, but within a plane defined by the planar ring, from a proximal side of the ring to a second side of the ring, comprising:
• (i) a first element extending from the proximal side of the ring and terminating at a distal end formed with a hollow therein, the first element including an elastic diamond shaped snap comprising an anchoring portion, the anchoring portion disposed distally from the elastic diamond shaped snap, the anchoring portion engaged in an interior of the hollow of the distal end of the first element for securing the elastic diamond shaped snap to the first element, wherein the anchoring portion is entirely encapsulated by the distal end of the first element when disposed within the hollow;
• and
• (ii) a second element extending from the second side of the ring, opposite the first element, including at least one window configured as a counterpart to the snap,
• wherein the first element is configured to slide axially within the second element such that when the snap is opposite the at least one window, the snap is released into the at least one window reversibly preventing further axial movement of the first element relative to the second element such that the device is configured to be in a locked, expanded, treatment rendering state when the snap is released into the at least one window and a reduced profile state when the snap is not in the at least one window.
