Freeing women from diapers: a brief history

Let’s start with the basics.
What the heck is a pessary? Plus

A pessary is an intravaginal device used to support pelvic organs. Primarily used for prolapse 30 years ago, its use was revolutionized for stress incontinence by our founding physician, Dr. Scott A. Farrell.

So, is Dr. Farrell, like, famous? Plus

As one urogynecologist put it, Dr. Farrell is a "big f*cking deal." Here's why:

  • Second-ever accredited urogynecologist in Canada.
  • Pioneer in treating SUI with pessaries.
  • Author of 65+ academic papers and textbook “Pessaries in Clinical Practice” (2006).
  • Former chair of the Medical Council of Canada, president of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada, and professor at Dalhousie University Medical School.
  • Trained most of the urogynecologists practicing in Canada today.

He still remains active in the company as our Chief Medical Officer.

Uro-gy-ne…what now? Plus

Urogynecology focuses on specialized care for pelvic floor conditions. While it’s not well-known outside of medical and patient communities, we're here to change that.

Canada, eh? Does the FDA know you’re here? Plus

The Uresta is a Class II medical device cleared by the FDA and the first self-managed pessary introduced in North America. It’s the top recommended non-surgical solution in North America by doctors and pelvic floor physios.

Seems too good to be true. What’s the catch? Plus

No catch! Uresta is made in a state-of-the-art ISO 13485 standard/approved medical device factory in Ontario, Canada. Made from non-absorbent, hypoallergenic medical-grade polymer, it’s latex- and phthalate-free, doesn’t weaken your pelvic muscles or carry the toxic risks of tampons. The resin has also been rigorously tested for safety and biocompatibility.

Used (and loved!) by doctors and pelvic floor physios

I take care of my health to take care of my patients and family better, and Uresta is one of the ways I do this. It gives me confidence to do the things I love like running and weightlifting.

I have tried everything under the sun to address my stress incontinence. Uresta has hands down been a real game-changer for me and my clients.

The Uresta is my favorite stress incontinence pessary because it is reusable and I think it works the best.
