This awesome device makes it easier to insert and remove the Caya® or Singa® diaphragm.
Whilst diaphragms are a well established and reliable form of hormone free contraception, some women who are new to them sometimes need a bit of help inserting and removing them properly whilst they are still on their learning curve. Diaphragms in different sizes can be easily hooked up and inserted. With the curved side, removing the diaphragm is possible even if they can't reach it well with their own fingers. The inserter has no sharp edges and its shape is based on established, long-term experience with this practical tool.
The device should be cleaned with soap and water after each use and dried thoroughly. It does not need to be disinfected or boiled.
Insertion And Removal Instructions
Step 1.
Application: The insertion rod has two different sides. Side 1 is for inserting a diaphragm and side 2 is for removing it.
Step 2.
Hold the insertion rod with one hand. With the other hand, hold the diaphragm by the grip dimples so that it folds up. Now, the diaphragm is first mounted onto side 1 and then hooked with the other side into one of the notches (centre of the rod).
Step 3.
The diaphragm should now be folded lengthwise and attached to the insertion rod with the dia- phragm membrane facing the rod.
Step 4.
Apply approx. 4 ml of the contraceptive gel onto the folded diaphragm.
Step 5.
Insert the insertion rod with the diaphragm as far as possible into the posterior vaginal vault. More than half of the insertion rod with the diaphragm is now inserted and the diaphragm is no longer visible from the outside.
Step 6.
Rotate the insertion rod to allow the diaphragm to detach itself from the insertion rod. Carefully pull out the insertion rod.
Step 7.
If necessary, feel to check that the diaphragm is covering the cervix and lying in the niche at the front of the pubic bone.
Step 8.
To remove the diaphragm, insert the insertion rod with the hook (side 2) a few centimetres into the vagina. Guide the hook of the rod behind the front edge of the diaphragm and hook it on. This will allow you to remove the diaphragm from the vagina.
Step 9.
Cleaning:
Clean with soap and water before and after use.
If used carefully, the insertion rod will last a long time and can be reused.
