The FDA cleared ConTIPI Medical’s ProVate, a device used to temporarily manage pelvic organ prolapse in women without surgery.

The device consists of a vaginal ring pessary with a throwaway applicator. It can be removed by pulling a string, much like a tampon, and can be used for up to a week.

ProVate can be inserted and removed by the patient at home after initial training and size fitting by a medical practitioner.
