The cervical ripening catheter is a specialized medical device designed for physical dilation of the cervical canal when the cervix is unfavorable for induction. The balloons are inflated with sterilized saline solution, creating pressure that stimulates the cervix to synthesize and release prostaglandins, thereby promoting cervical ripening.
This medical device offers several important features: constructed from medical-grade silicone for excellent biocompatibility, color-coded for easy size identification, and designed to potentially shorten labor time and reduce patient discomfort. The mechanical dilation method effectively promotes cervical maturation without pharmaceutical intervention.
The silicone construction eliminates concerns about latex sensitivity, making it suitable for patients with latex allergies. The product is available in 18Fr size and comes in secure packaging with EO sterilization.
This product is intended for professional medical use in hospital and clinical settings. The device has obtained multiple international certifications including CE, ISO 13485, and FDA approval.
