Product Description
The
Bakri Postpartum Balloon with Rapid Instillation Components is used to provide temporary control or reduction of postpartum uterine bleeding when conservative management is warranted.
Purpose-Built for Postpartum Hemorrhage ControlThe Bakri Balloon serves as an intrauterine tamponade, swiftly addressing severe uterine bleeding following childbirth. Its design prioritizes patient safety, offering easy insertion, controlled inflation with sterile saline, and prompt hemostasis, helping reduce complications and the need for surgical intervention.
Exceptional Materials and Safety StandardsFabricated from 99%+ pure, medical-grade silicone with a PVC catheter, the Bakri Balloon ensures both flexibility and robust performance. Gamma-ray sterilization and leak-resistant construction safeguard sterility and efficiency, while radiopaque markings enhance placement visibility during follow-up imaging.
Practical, User-Oriented DesignEach Bakri Balloon is individually packaged for sterile, single-use application. Detailed volume graduations, a 500 mL maximum capacity, and a 54 cm catheter length allow clinicians to adjust the device precisely according to each patients clinical scenario, promoting optimal outcomes in postpartum care.
FAQs of Bakri Balloon:
Q: How is the Bakri Balloon used to manage postpartum hemorrhage?
A: The Bakri Balloon is used intrauterinely to control postpartum hemorrhage by inserting it into the uterus after childbirth and inflating it with sterile saline. The balloon applies gentle, consistent pressure to the uterine walls, helping to stop excessive bleeding quickly and effectively.
Q: What are the benefits of using the Bakri Balloon over other methods?
A: This device provides a rapid, minimally invasive alternative to surgical interventions for postpartum hemorrhage, enabling effective bleeding control while preserving future fertility. Its transparent, radiopaque design allows for visual confirmation and monitoring, contributing to better patient safety and outcomes.
Q: When should the Bakri Balloon be considered for use?
A: The device is recommended for women who experience moderate to severe postpartum hemorrhage unresponsive to standard medical therapy. It should be inserted promptly once bleeding has been identified and other conservative methods have not achieved control.
Q: Where is the Bakri Balloon typically used in a clinical setting?
A: The Bakri Balloon is primarily used in hospital obstetric units and delivery rooms by trained healthcare professionals. It is intended for immediate intrauterine application following the diagnosis of postpartum hemorrhage.
Q: What process should clinicians follow when using the Bakri Balloon?
A: Clinicians should insert the sterile, deflated balloon into the uterus, inflate it with sterile saline using the integrated port up to the marked capacity, and monitor the patient as per hospital protocol. Placement and inflation should be confirmed visually and through imaging if required.
Q: What safety features does the Bakri Balloon offer to patients?
A: Key safety features include a leak-resistant design to prevent fluid leakage, radiopaque construction for monitoring via imaging, individual sterile packaging, soft medical-grade silicone material, and volume markings to avoid overinflationall contributing to safer postpartum hemorrhage control.
