Gentle, low-pressure irrigation of the vagina. Common protocols for antiseptic irrigations require preparing and administering 1000 to 2000 ml of 105°F (40.5°C) povidone-iodine solution while maintaining standard precautions. For hemostasis, solution temperature is increased to 118°F or 120°F (47.8° to 48.9°C). The container should be elevated up to 2 ft (61 cm) above the woman’s pelvis to allow slow, low-pressure flow of the solution.
