Metrastop postpartum catheter with balloon
- For the control or temporary reduction of the postpartum uterine bleeding when conservative management is warranted.
- Catheter equipped with 2 balloons: an external (1) one to be inflated with sterile saline solution (maximum inflation 60 ml) through the blue-colored (3) “water” lumen, and an internal (2) one to be inflated with air (suggested inflation: 350 cc of air, equivalent to 6 pumping with the 60 ml syringe; maximum inflation 420 cc) through the transparent “air inflation” lumen.
- The special inflation valve (4) of the transparent lumen enables to maintain the syringe connected during the inflation process.
- The red drainage lumen (5) must be connected to the fitted fluid collection bag (6) for the correct monitoring of the blood loss.
- This specific design of the balloons enables the device to be very light, thus avoiding the risk of balloon slippage. The inflation and deflation process is very fast and it is possible to reposition the catheter in case of misplacement. Ease of use by the physician and total comfort for the patient.
- The kit consists of catheter, 60 ml syringe and fluid collection bag.
