The ingredients of outer coating of N.T.T dot not dissolve in these disinfectants although these are solvents by nature.
Method of Insertion
The patient is kept in lithotomy position and the cervix is exposed by sim's vaginal speculum. The anterior lip of the cervix is held with a sponge holder and the tent is inserted into the uterus via cervical OS a little beyond the internal OS. As the length of the nongravid uterus is 7.5 cm and N.T.T. measures 6.3 cm. there is no risk of perforation of uterus if properly inserted. A dried sterile gauze is tied between the threads of the tent to make sure that the tent will not slip into the uterine cavity.
