Device typeCervical dilatation catheter: A flexible, tube-like device, typically with two or more inflatable balloons at the distal working end, designed to dilate (stretch open) the cervical canal after insertion through the cervical os and expansion of the balloons to assist in obstetrical or gynaecological procedures. It may be used for labour induction, spontaneously occurring labour, non-progressive labour, cervical dystocia, undesirable prolonged uterine contractions, and intrauterine foetal death (IUFD) where delivery of the foetus is difficult. Such procedures may be performed at or prior to full-term pregnancy. This is a single-use device.
