Cosm Medical is developing the world’s first personalized pessary platform to treat vaginal pelvic floor disorders.
In collaboration with the Hamilton Health Sciences CREATE team, Cosm Medical is developing a cloud-based software application that empower patients with a modern and holistic care approach to work with Gynethotics.
Gynethotics™ Pessaries are the first personalized gynecological prosthetics for pelvic floor disorders in North America. They are approved for sale in Canada and the USA.
Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) are an underserved, stigmatized and growing women's health issue. One in every four adult women, and half of all women by the age of 80 are affected by pelvic floor disorders.¹
PFDs occur when the muscles and connective tissues are weakened or injured. The disorders include pelvic organ prolapse and urinary and/or fecal incontinence which have significant impacts on quality of life.
Current gynecological prosthetics used to support pelvic organs and relieve symptoms, commonly known as off-the-shelf pessaries, date back to 1,800 BCE.² They have not changed in over 50 years, come in over 100 different shapes and sizes, and are fit by trial-and-error. Currently, pessary fittings are driven through clinician examination using fingers and are not personalized to a patient’s body.
Gynethotics™ pessaries are the world's first personalizable gynecological prosthetics for unique bodies and needs. Our solution was inspired by personal need, advancements in technology, and other healthcare verticals. 3D printing has already revolutionized many fields of medicine such as custom dental and orthopedics because every body is different.
Our mission is to bring Gynecology into the 21st century by leveraging the latest technological advancements in medical imaging, cloud software, artificial intelligence / machine learning, and 3D printing to deliver a personalized, data-driven, and streamlined experience for patients and clinicians.
Awareness and education are critical to destigmatizing pelvic health. Empower yourself with knowledge. We highlight these mission-aligned organizations that deliver world-leading education and support for clinicians and patients.
