DEVICE FOR STAUNCHING UTERUS BLEEDING

摘要

A device for staunching uterine bleeding comprising an expandable balloon (19) and a tubular handle (10) connected therewith for the insertion of the balloon into the uterine cavity, which can be connected to a fluid source for pressurizing the balloon and effecting and maintaining the expansion thereof. The balloon is dimensioned to fill the uterine cavity at expansion and to exert pressure against the bounding wall thereof over substantially the total surface of said wall. According to the invention the device comprises also a pump and control unit (25) and a hose connected at one end thereof with the handle and at the other end thereof with a connection element (23) for connection of the fluid source. The hose (13) can be detachably mounted to the pump and control unit in operative co-operation therewith and forms together with the balloon and the handle a separate unit for one-way use.
