Summary

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a highly prevalent condition of involuntary urine leakage associated with coughing, sneezing or exertion. Midurethral slings (MUS) are a safe and efficacious surgical option to treat SUI and is considered the best treatment by recognized organizations. Nevertheless, it remains a surgical intervention exposing patients to risks, possible recurrence and is not recommended to women planning to have more children. Incontinence pessaries offer an alternative to surgery with a similar mechanism of action as MUS. However, there is a paucity of literature on the outcomes of incontinence pessary treatment of SUI, with only two prospective studies have been published on the Uresta pessary and one australian case-series on Contiform pessary.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the self-positioning Contiform intravaginal pessary used as a conservative method to address stress urinary incontinence in women in order to provide Canadian real-world data.

The 3-month efficacy, adverse events and global patient satisfaction (including comfort and ease of insertion) will be assessed.

It is hypothesized that the Contiform device will be well tolerated by 60-70% of patients, with no serious adverse events. It will cure SUI for about 50% of them.

Conditions

  • Urinary Incontinence, Stress

Interventions

DEVICE

Contiform pessary

Patients will be asked to use the device for 12 weeks and to become comfortable with self-insertion and self-removal. The device can be worn continuously for 1 month. When placed in the vagina it retains its shape and supports the urethra during episodes of varied intraabdominal pressure. During the assessment test (24 hours pad test), patients will be encouraged to undertake any activity that would normally induce stress leakage. The contiform device is approved by Health Canada since 2017-04-10 (Licence No.: 98950, Company ID: 134089, Device identifier: SKU 184)
