All Tandem Cube Pessaries are perforated in order for them not to adhere too
strongly and hence allow easier removal. Furthermore they allow for better drai-
nage of vaginal secretion.
medesign’s pessaries are made from flexible, tissue tolerant silicone, which is
especially developed for medical use. If you should, despite this, notice a reac-
tion, stop the use of the pessary and discuss the situation with your physician.
The pessaries are flexible and can thus be folded and squeezed, making insertion
and removal especially easy. The pessary may be used by one patient only.
How do I insert the Tandem Cube Pessary?
Pessaries can easily be inserted on your own. Check the Tandem Cube Pessary for
intactness, cleanliness, discolouration, damage and wear marks. The pessary has
to be replaced by a new one should damage or changes on the surface be visible.
You should insert the Tandem Cube Pessary into the vagina in the mornings and
remove it in the evenings in order for the sensitive vaginal tissue to be able to
recover overnight. In certain cases the pessary may remain inserted during the
night or be replaced by a smaller tandem cube at night. Instead of changing the
cube themselves, many older patients leave this to their physician. Removal and
reinsertion is necessary every 4 to 8 weeks. Please follow your doctor’s instruc-
tions for this.
Wash your hands prior to inserting the pessary. To ease insertion it is
recommended that a lubricant, such as Ladysoft, be used. If needed, the edges
of the cube may be coated with a cream or gel containing oestrogen.
