Problem
Existing intravaginal pessaries for managing pelvic organ prolapse, stress urinary incontinence, and other gynecological conditions often have a poor fit due to variations in individual anatomies. This can lead to discomfort, device expulsion, and reduced effectiveness, impacting the quality of life for a significant portion of women affected by these conditions.
Solution
FemTherapeutics develops patient-specific intravaginal devices utilizing a combination of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and 3D printing to create customizable pessaries. This approach allows for a personalized fit, addressing the limitations of standard, one-size-fits-all pessaries. The custom-designed devices aim to provide improved support, comfort, and efficacy in managing pelvic floor disorders and other gynecological conditions, offering a non-invasive alternative for women at various stages of life, including those experiencing menopause, maternal health issues, cervical cancer-related complications, and sexual health concerns.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes women suffering from pelvic organ prolapse, stress urinary incontinence, and other gynecological conditions, as well as urogynecologists and clinicians seeking personalized, non-invasive solutions for their patients.
