Serious support for hemorrhoids

If you’ve had hemorrhoids, you know. They’re bad.

There are the familiar symptoms. Pain, bleeding, never ending wiping.

But what about the feeling that your insides are running for the exit?

The feeling that something is sticking out, itchy and irritated?

Correct’em is a first-of-its kind medical device that finally keeps everything where it belongs, so you can heal.

Its size and shape allow it to be worn comfortably in the rectum, where it works three ways to reduce inflammation, improve discomfort and, finally, stop the falling out.

“My doctor told me to use my finger to push it back in.”

The device works like an orthotic does for a collapsing arch, or a pessary does for pelvic organ prolapse, or a bra does for sagging. . . you get the idea. It prevents the hemorrhoid from migrating downward and provides a lasting effect to help it stay put, even after wear.

The solution

Hold everything.

Our proprietary design allows for the delivery of effective topical medication right where it’s needed, at the site of the hemorrhoid. Less mess, and less waste.

Deliver the drugs.

Stay cool.

Cooling gel within the device allows it to be refrigerated before wear, easing insertion and improving pain.

  • The purpose of Correct’em is to provide needed support with as small and unobtrusive a device as possible. It is held comfortably in place by the natural tone of the anal sphincters, with a soft body contoured handle on the outside so it stays put.

    And if it seems wild to think about an anorectal wearable, consider that millions already use vaginal and anal devices for all kinds of health needs - pelvic organ prolapse, fecal incontinence, menstruation.

    The alternatives when it comes to hemorrhoid are: feeling a constant something in your rear, using a finger to push it back in (good luck against gravity), or getting the temporary splinting effect of a suppository (with the mess after it melts).

    Given all of this - and the incidence and recurrence of hemorrhoids - we think we’re a pretty great solution!

  • The best first line of defense right now is the usual suspects - the creams and wipes you can find at any drug store. Otherwise, requesting topical hydrocortisone or a hydrocortisone suppository from your MD (with proper diagnosis) can be very helpful.

    The most sustainable way to prevent and manage hemorrhoids is to focus on the basics of fiber, proper hydration, and understanding how to poop correctly. Pelvic floor PT is great for this!
