EPI-NO Delphine Mode D'emploi page 19

It is common, that the balloon may be ex-
pelled prematurely (e.g. because of inter-
nal pressure or excess lubricant) . Avoid this
by holding it in place or closing your legs
and trying the side-lying position. You can
also feed the balloon in slightly further. Even
if the balloon slips totally into the vagina
and touches the cervix, it can be returned to
the correct position by pulling slightly at the
base of the balloon.
If any complications should arise when us-
ing the EPI·NO Delphine
please consult your physician or mid-
Plus
wife immediately.

out of the balloon with your hand, then close
the air release valve. The balloon will now
remain in this deflated shape. Lubricating
the top half of the balloon will facilitate in-
sertion ( see section "Warning / Caution" ) .
Hold the balloon near the end and intro-
duce it about one half of the way into the
