Effect of Dianatal Obstetric Gel

Application of Dianatal Obstetric Gel

• Starting with the first vaginal examination. Dianatal Obstetric
  Gel is used during childbirth.
• After each vaginal examination, 3 - 5mL of Obstetric Gel is introduced into the vaginal birth
  canal in the area in front of the child using the sterile Dianatal Obstetric Gel Applicator.
• In case of dry birth canals it is important to add a small amount of fluid (1-3 mL) when
  applying the gel. Physiological saline solutions or aseptic solutions are suitable fluids.
• Additional obstetric gel should be added 15 - 30 minutes after the membranes
  have ruptured.
• Dianatal Obstetric Gel shortens both the dilation and the expulsion phase and should
  thus ideally be used during the entire duration of the birth.
• Dianatal Obstetric Gel protects the pelvic floor, the vagina and the perineum,
  and reduces ruptures of the perineum.
• Dianatal Stage 1 is used specifically during the dilation phase; Dianatal
  Stage 2 on the other hand is used during the expulsion phase.
• The recommended amount is 20-30 mL of Obstetric Gel per childbirth. Once the
  head of the child is visible, the mouth and nose region should be wiped clean.
• A dry towel should be used to liberate the child in order to prevent the child from slipping.
• The Obstetric Gel should only be applied by a physician or a midwife.

The ideal birth for every woman

• A safe and smoother birth
• Highest possible safety for mother and child
• Protection of pelvic floor and perineum
• Facilitation of vaginal surgical procedures

The birth of a child is a very deep experience in life and should
therefore be remembered as one of the most wonderful moments in life.

Not every gel is an obstetric gel

Dianatal Obstetric Gel is:
• sterile & comes in a sterile packaging
• mucoadhesive
• non-allergenic and non-pyrogenic
• bactericide
• electroconductive and isotonic
• latex-free
• free of preservatives
• tolerated by eyes and mucous membranes

FDA and EU Guidelines:
• Agar diffusion test
• Buehler Sensitisation test
• Embryotoxicity test
• Haemolysis test
• Intracutaneous injection test
• Oral irritation test
• Ocular irritation test
• Skin irritation test
• Vaginal irritation test
• Pyrogen test
• Systemic injection test (2005: Toxikon Europe, Belgium)

Bactericide to: B - streptococci (Streptococcus agalactiae), A – streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes), E. coli, Gardnerella vaginalis / Laboratory L + S AG, Germany, 2009.

• Dianatal Obstetric Gel contains special mucoadhesive and friction-reducing components.
• Dianatal Obstetric Gel has a purely physical mechanism of action. It does not
  contain any active substances and is tolerated well by both mother and child.
• Dianatal Obstetric Gel reduces friction by up to 50%. (ETH 2008)
• Dianatal Obstetric Gel significantly reduces not only adhesive friction
  but also gliding friction.
• Dianatal Obstetric Gel can be used as a preventive (gel birth) and therapeutic product.
  Therapeutic indications include: Use in cessation of birth or protracted births, dry birth
  canals after use of prostaglandin, macrosomia, to facilitate vaginal surgical procedures,
  to ease birth following a previous Caesarean section, cephalo-pelvine disproportion.
• Dianatal Obstetric Gel eases the birth process, protects the vagina and perineum
  and is safe for mother and child
