Vaginal vault prolapse occurs when the upper portion of the vagina, called the apex, sags or bulges down into the vaginal canal or outside the vagina. The ApogeeTM System is designed to restore a more normal anatomy with a mesh that is placed at the apex to hold the vagina in place.
The use of surgical mesh for reinforcement is not new. It has been used extensively in surgery, especially in hernia repairs. The mesh is designed to conform to your anatomy. It has many holes designed to allow your body tissue to grow into it to provide a framework of support.
