Cook Medical’s Ripening Balloon Introduction
Childbirth usually takes place naturally, but sometimes it is necessary to intervene in childbirth. Because this process does not proceed naturally and automatically. In these cases, induction of labor (IOL) is performed. Before the doctor induces labor, he must make sure that the cervix is ready for labor. Induction of labor requires the opening of the cervix. In cases where the cervix is not in a good condition, to Start labor, different methods (chemical and mechanical) are used to and soften the cervix and open it. Cook Medical’s Ripening Balloon, which is considered one of these methods, uses two balloons (double balloon) to cause gradual and constant pressure on the cervix (similar to a natural mechanism), the separation of the amnion membrane by inserting the internal balloon and increasing the secretion of endogenous prostaglandins.
Compared to oxytocin and prostaglandins, the use of this balloon leads to greater dilatation of the cervix, a reduction in the rate of cesarean, a reduction in the time from induction to delivery, and a higher chance of success. Also, unlike the Foley catheter, it is made of silicone (anti-allergic and sterilizable). This balloon remains in the body for twelve hours and then it is taken out and labor induction begins immediately.
Cook Medical’s ripening balloon is a reliable and safe means to prepare the cervix and start labor induction after 12 hours without medicine, from the reliable and long-standing American brand Cook Medical (Cook Medical), is now available.
