Medline Cube Pessary With Drain

More About Medline Cube Pessary

Cube Pessary With Drain Usage Instructions:

• Fitting usually requires a trial of various sizes to determine the proper pessary size. Pessary Fitting Set is a valuable aid in selecting the correct pessary. A vaginal lubricant may be required for the patient’s comfort before insertion of a pessary. The physician should determine if the patient requires estrogen therapy before prescribing a pessary
• Perform a normal pelvic examination prior to the fitting and introduction of a pessary. A pelvic exam helps determine the appropriate size. The pessary will easily fold across the largest drainage holes to simplify insertion and removal. The pessary should be large enough for its indication, yet not cause any undue pressure or discomfort
• Compress the pessary and gently insert the pessary through the introitus. Once the pessary has passed the introitus, release the compressed pessary so that it expands to its normal shape
• Gently move the pessary to the cervix to support the cystocele or rectocele and the uterus. When in the correct position, the physician should be able to insert an examining finger between the outer edge of 4the pessary and the vaginal wall. This spacing will ensure the patient comfort and reduce the risk of pressure necrosis
• Once in place, the pessary should not dislodge when standing, sitting, squatting or bearing down. It should not be uncomfortable for the patient during any of these routine activities
• When fitting a pessary, be sure to instruct the patient on its cleaning, insertion and removal. The patient should perform these tasks before the first follow-up visit
• Tell the patient to report any discomfort immediately

Removal, Cleaning and Suggested Follow Up:

• To remove the pessary, carefully move the pessary forward toward the introitus. When the pessary is within reach, compress the pessary and carefully withdraw
• The pessary should be removed for cleaning every day or two. The pessary can be cleaned with mild soap and warm water
• Advise the patient on pessary usage during sexual activity
• Discuss the importance of following instructions and the expected length of time for pessary use
• Within 24 to 48 hours, be sure the patient is not allergic to the pessary. Examine the vagina and ask the patient if there has been any discomfort, irritation, pressure, sensitivity, or unusual vaginal discharge. Also, determine if there has been any improvement in her personal symptoms
• Schedule follow-up visits to fit the needs of the patient

     Answer: Begin by inserting your middle finger behind the cervix in the posterior fornix and placing your index finger against the pubic notch. The distance between your 2 fingers is used as a starting point in pessary sizing. Withdraw your fingers and choose the fitting ring whose diameter best approximates this distance.
