How to clean a pessary?

  1. Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing mild soap (such as Dawn® or equivalent) with water according to the manufacturer's recommended concentration. Prepare the solution in a container large enough to fully immerse the pessary.

  2. Immerse the instrument in the container with the mixed cleaning solution for at least 5 minutes.

  3. After soaking, brush the instrument with a soft brush, such as a toothbrush, for at least 15 seconds. Brush the pessary under water to prevent aerosolization of harmful substances. Check the pessary for visible residue after brushing.

  4. Remove the pessary from the cleaning solution and rinse thoroughly under running water for 30 seconds.

  5. Allow the instrument to dry.
