5. What are some insertion positions?
You may want to sit on the toilet and insert from the front or back, or lie down on a bed. You
should use whichever insertion position is most comfortable for you. Avoid multiple insertion
attempts to limit the exposure of stool to other parts of the body; use a new Insert if this happens.
6. Can a Renew Insert get lost inside my body?
No. Clinical research has shown that Renew Inserts come out with a person’s next bowel movement*.
The Renew Insert is designed so the top and bottom disks hold it in place in the anal canal between the
rectum and anus. In the unlikely event a Renew Insert moves into the anus, it will be naturally expelled
with your next bowel movement.
7. What if the Renew Insert comes out when I go to the toilet and pass wind (gas) or urinate?
The Renew Insert is designed to be expelled with a bowel movement, but occasionally it may come out
if you are sitting on the toilet and passing wind (gas) or urinating. If this happens, simply replace it with
a new Renew Insert. If you are using a Regular size Renew Insert and this happens frequently, you may
want to try the Large size Renew Insert.
8. Will I be able to pass wind (gas) with the Renew Insert in place?
Yes. The Renew Insert still allows for the passage of wind (gas). If you are using a Large size Renew Insert
and feel discomfort from wind (gas), try a Regular size Renew Insert.
9. Can I bathe and be physically active when I’m wearing my Renew Insert?
Yes. You can do all of your activities while using a Renew Insert.
10. Should I flush the applicator and Renew Insert down the toilet?
Flushing of the applicator and the Renew Insert is not recommended.
SIZING
Renew Inserts come in two sizes, Regular and Large. Start with the Regular size Renew Insert. If the
Regular size comes out at unexpected times or if you experience leakage, try the Large size Renew
Insert.
PREPARATION
Step 1.
Do not use a Renew Insert package unless it is fully sealed. Wash your hands. Peel back
the top of the package to fully expose the Renew Insert.
Step 2.
Place your index finger into the light blue removable applicator and lift the Insert out of its
package.
Step 3.
Sit relaxed on a toilet and insert from the front or back. Other common insertion positions are to
raise yourself up onto one hip (while sitting on the toilet) or lie down on a bed (if this is more comfortable).
Position the top disc of the Renew Insert so it’s lightly resting on the anus. Note: If the Insert falls off the
applicator prior to insertion, discard it and use a new one.
INSERTION
Step 4.
Relax your muscles and gently slide the Renew Insert into the anus until you feel the applicator
touch the anus.
Step 5.
Gently withdraw the applicator. The bottom disk of the Renew Insert should be resting just
outside the anus.
Step 6.
Discard the applicator in a waste receptacle. Wash your hands after use. The Renew Insert is now
properly in place and sealing from the inside to help prevent ABL.
REMOVAL
Step 7.
The Renew Insert is designed to be naturally expelled with your next bowel movement.
Alternatively, simply pull on the bottom disk outside the anus to remove the Renew Insert. Wash your
hands after direct contact with the used Insert.
REPLACEMENT
Step 8.
For optimal protection, use a new Renew Insert after each bowel movement.
