Contragel grün Diaphragmagel

Diaphragm Gel - Contragel green
Gel to be used with diaphragms or cervical caps

Contragel geen® covers as a physical barrier the cervix and reduces ph-value of the mucus. This gel should be inside the cavity of the diaphragm or cervical cap before inserting it inside the vagina. It is an additional security at the use of this barrier contraceptive method. Since 1972, Contragel geen® has a well established use and safety. Its previous brand name was Contracep Green from NVSH Netherlands.

Application

Before inserting the diaphragm or cervical cap into the vagina cavity, the gel should be given in a small volume of 3 ml into the cavity of the diaphragm or cervical cap. Now, the diaphragm or cervical cap is folded and inserted into the vagina. Please assure that the cervix is dipped into this gel and the membrane covers the cervix. The cervix is covered and closed twice: by the silicone membrane and the gel. These two barriers are physical barriers and prevent that sperm cells that by-passed the silicone barrier, cannot not move into the cervix and uterus. Please note the instructions of your diaphragm or cervical cap.

Notice

Waterbased gel – could be used as well with natural latex rubber condoms.
