Contrelle Activgard Sizing Kit

8.99

The Sizing Kit helps you find your most effective and
comfortable fit.
Contrelle® Activgard comes in three different sizes, and finding the right size has nothing to do with the amount you leak, how much you weigh or how tall you are. It’s
about finding the right size and fit for your internal shape.

How many sizes are there?
Contrelle® Activgard is available in three sizes, each size provides a different level of support and fit. All 3 sizes use the same applicator. Every woman is different – the size you need will depend on the size and shape of your vagina, as well as the amount of support or gentle pressure needed on your bladder neck to help stop leaks.
Selecting the right size by using the Sizing Kit is important for providing the most effective and comfortable fit that helps stop your leaks when you laugh, cough, sneeze or exercise.

Product details
Contrelle® Activgard is a medical device for treating women who are experiencing stress urinary incontinence (SUI). SUI is the complaint of involuntary leakage of urine on effort or exertion, or on sneezing or coughing, lifting or exercising. 1 in 3 women suffer with SUI. This can affect women of all ages, and may occur at any time, but often starts in pregnancy, after childbirth or during the menopause.

It is made of a super soft biocompatible foam, and is disposable (single use) discreet and comfortable to use. Contrelle Activgard is easily vaginally inserted to restore the bladder to its natural position and to stops bladder leaks actually happening – straight away, rather than absorbing urine like traditional pads and liners. Find the right fit and results can be immediate on insertion. Contrelle Activgard is available in 3 sizes – the sizing kit contains one of each size to help a woman find the right fit for her.

How to use
Contrelle Activgard is easy-to-use. It comes with an applicator and is inserted into the vagina to gently lift and give support to the urethra. Please read the full Instructions for Use leaflet inside your Sizing Kit Pack before use.
