Juno Type 1 Obstetric Pessary: Supporting Your Pregnancy Journey
Description:
The Juno Type 1 Obstetric Pessary (ring) is a non-invasive medical device designed to help prevent premature birth in women diagnosed with isthmic-cervical insufficiency (ICN). This condition occurs when the cervix, the lower part of the uterus, begins to open prematurely, potentially leading to early labor and delivery.
How It Works:
The Juno Type 1 Pessary is a trapezoid-shaped plastic device with rounded corners. This unique design helps to effectively reduce pressure on the cervix, providing support and stability. It is carefully fitted by a healthcare professional based on your individual anatomy.
Benefits of Juno Type 1 Pessary:
- High Efficiency: Studies have demonstrated that using a Juno Type 1 Pessary is as effective as surgical intervention in preventing preterm labor, regardless of the gestational age.
- Safety & Comfort: Made from smooth, biocompatible material, the pessary is gentle on the body and does not pose a risk of allergic reaction or infection.
- Non-Surgical Solution: The Juno Type 1 Pessary avoids the need for potentially traumatic surgical correction of ICN.
Who is the Juno Type 1 Pessary For?
This pessary is ideal for pregnant women diagnosed with isthmic-cervical insufficiency (ICN) and experiencing premature cervical shortening or dilation.
Key Features:
- Single Use: This pessary is designed for a single patient and is disposed of after use.
- Professional Installation: Always consult with your doctor or midwife for proper installation and removal of the pessary.
- Gynecological Ointment: To ensure safe and comfortable insertion, the pessary is typically lubricated with gynecological ointment.
