Abstract
A non-expandable intravaginal pessary device. The device has a top, a bottom, and a sidewall that extends between the top and the bottom. The top, bottom, and sidewall form an outer periphery defining a total enclosed area of the device. The device has a first region adapted to extend between an anterior vaginal wall and a posterior vaginal wall of a woman to provide pressure on the woman's urethra through the vaginal wall, the first region having a first width and a second region having a second width, wherein the first width is greater than the second width. In addition, the device applies a first pressure to a first portion of the urethra when inserted into the woman's vagina and applies a second pressure to a second portion of the urethra, wherein the second pressure is less than the first pressure.
