Narrative

Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee have agreed a BLUE (on recommendation) traffic light status for a trial (starter pack) and then ongoing prescribing if needed, of an intravaginal device for women with stress urinary incontinence, only if other non-surgical options have been unsuccessful.

Formulary choices were agreed as:

Efemia - 1st line choice for daily or intermittent use and 1st line choice of reusable product

Contiform - 2nd line choice for daily or intermittent use.

Diveen - 3rd line choice if other devices not able to be used i.e. due to insertion / comfort etc.

Contrelle Activgard - 

This is the only single-use product currently available.  This is the most expensive reusable product for daily and intermittent use.  Please reserve for those who specifically require this product.
