Having a Sitz Bath with The Plexa Pan

In our previous blog, we explain what a sitz bath is, and inform you on its benefits. You may read the blog here, if you haven’t already checked it out. Below are steps on how to use the Plexa Sitz Bath Pan (Plexa Pan).

Step 1
Clean Your Plexa Pan with an antiseptic, making sure to rinse thoroughly.

Step 2
Place your Plexa Pan onto the open Water Closet with the seat lifted, or onto a 20-litre bucket that supports your weight. Test it by trying to move it from side to side to ensure it will stay in place and will not shift.

Step 3
Fill the Pan with 2.5 litres of warm water. Lukewarm water is highly recommended (Temperature of 36.5-40.5 C) for 10 to 15 mins 2 to 3 times per day. WARNING: DO NOT USE HOT WATER, to avoid discomfort, burns or disruption of surgical sutures.

Step 4
Add an appropriate amount of bath salt. You may add any medications recommended by your Doctor to the water.

Step 5
Sit on the Pan and lower your perineum to soak for 15 to 20 mins. You may elevate your legs by placing them on a footstool to make you more comfortable. Gently pat yourself dry with a clean cotton towel and clean the Pan as in step 1.
