FAQ
Q1: How does the cervical ripening balloon work?
When inserted into the endocervical canal and inflated, the balloon applies gradual radial mechanical pressure to the cervix. This stimulates cervical maturation and effacement through both physical dilation and endogenous prostaglandin release.
Q2: Is this a pharmacological method of induction?
No. It is a purely mechanical method of cervical ripening, recommended by ACOG as a non-pharmacological alternative or adjunct to pharmacologic induction.
Q3: What size is the catheter?
The standard size is 18Fr with an 80ml balloon capacity, designed for term pregnancy cervical ripening.
Q4: Can the balloon be deflated for repositioning?
Yes, the balloon can be partially deflated and repositioned as clinically needed before full inflation for ripening.
