DILATAN PLUS
Dilatan plus is a cryo- thermal and dilator available in 5 different sizes only to be used when advised by a physician. Three boxes are available (18/20mm, 23/27 mm and 30 mm), offering patients the most suitable size for their particular problem and individual anatomy.
DILATAN PLUS Consists of an inert plastic shell with a large disk at the base to allow the patient the devise easily. Each sealed dilator contains a thermal jelly which, when heated or cooled, maintains the dilator’s temperature during use.
Thermotherapy (warm) or cryotherapy (cold) dilators may be used effectively to treat differing pathologies. For the following conditions the dilator should be used warm, up to but not exceeding 50 degrees Celsius:
- Stenosis (contraction) of the anus, due to cicatricial or idiopathic origin
- Hypertonia or spasm due to, and sustained by, haemorrhoids, proctologia or fistulas
- Prevention of post-operative stenosis due to haemorrhoids or fistulas
In spasm and in the treatment of the chronic anal fissures associated with severe hypertonic anal sphincter, the larger dilators (27 and 30) should be used.
Directions for use:
In CRYOTHERAPY, cool the appropriate dilator in a refrigerator or immense in ice and water for 10-15 minutes.
The DILATAN PLUS works well regardless of whether the lower bowel is full or empty. In case of spasm, sitting in a warm water bidet prior to insertion will help relax the sphincter muscles and assist the therapy.
Prior to insertion, the dilator should be covered in a layer of CREMA DILATAN Cream.
Sitting in the bidet or lying on the bed, insert the dilator slowly up to its base. Keep it in position for two to three minutes, and then pull it slowly out. It is advisable not to stand or walk with the dilator in position.
- Following haemorrhoidectomy, dilations should be performed once or twice daily for the first month, reducing to three times a week for the second and third months. This will greatly relieve post-operative discomfort.
- In cases of anal stenosis, twice-daily use of the dilator is advisable. Treatment should be continued for several months.
- For other conditions, DILATAN PLUS should be used twice a day whilst symptoms persist, and the treatment continued for at least a month after the symptoms have ceased.
Dilatan Plus anal dilators must always be washed after use with warm water and neutral soap. If necessary, leave for several hours in a disinfectant solution.
Warnings:
It is recommended a proctological examination to avoid a different origin of symptoms. Keep out of children’s reach. Do not swallow. DILATAN PLUS is a single patient product.
