Gynethotics™ Pessaries are Health Canada licensed and FDA cleared and offered through clinics across Canada. Contact us to get in touch with a partnering clinic. Introduction to further designs and products are projected to launch in future years.
Like traditional pessaries, your clinician will assess factors such as the type and severity of your pelvic floor condition, your medical history, and your lifestyle. They will also consider any preferences you may have before recommending a personalized pessary for you.
Gynethotics™ are covered by several providers including Manulife, Sun Life, Johnson Insurance, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Always check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage.
Whether a personalized pessary is covered depends on your insurance plan, so it's best to check with your insurer. CPT® Category III codes can be used to report the provider's work, like your exam and fitting, but those codes cover the provider's time and care, not the pessary itself.
All Gynethotics™ are made from biocompatible silicone, offering multiple choices in terms of material stiffness.
The first step is to connect with your clinician. They possess the expertise to assess your specific pelvic health needs and recommend the most suitable pessary for you. If you are interested in getting your own Gynethotics™ Pessary, fill out our contact form with the contact information of your clinician. We take a collaborative approach to finding the most suitable solution for your pelvic health needs.
If you do not have a clinician, contact us to find a Cosm-affiliated clinic near you.
We have demonstrated that Gynethotics™ pessaries can be more comfortable for patients compared to their current pessary.* Our goal is to optimize your comfort and lifestyle based upon your unique body and needs.

This depends on each individual’s situation. A plan for removal, cleaning, and reinsertion will be created by you and your clinician based on the type of pessary, your anatomy, other health concerns, and your goals for pessary use. Refer to the instructions for use accompanying your device for instructions on how to clean and care for your pessary. Gynethotics™ Pessaries are designed for a usage period of up to 3 years.
