Dilatan Plus anal dilators are cryo-thermal anal dilators that may be used for differing pathologies when advised by a physician. Dilatan vegetable lubricating cream is also available and facilitates the insertion process.
Anal dilators Plus are available in 5 different sizes and can be used for a variety of treatments and pathologies. Each sealed dilator contains a thermal jelly which, when heated or cooled, maintains the dilator’s temperature during use.
Three patient box sizes are available (Ø18/20 mm, Ø23/27 mm and Ø30 mm), offering patients the most suitable size for their particular problem and individual anatomy.
The small and medium-sized dilators are to assist in progressive distension in the presence of various anal stenoses. The large size is always indicated for spasm.
In many pathologies, the temperature of the dilator is not important.
However, for the following conditions the dilator should be used warm, up to but not exceeding 50° Celsius:
For the following conditions, the dilator should be cooled to not below 0° Celsius:
Prior to insertion, the dilator should be covered in a layer of 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.
For thermotherapy, the dilator should be immersed in warm water, ideally at 50° Celsius, for 10-15 minutes.
For cryotherapy, the dilator should be immersed in iced water for 15 minutes in the fridge.
The Dilatan 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.
Cleaning Dilatan
Following use, the dilators should be washed in warm, soapy water, thoroughly rinsed and returned to the box when clean and dry.
