Product Introduction
Cervical ripening balloon is disposable sterile obstetric medical device specially applied for physical cervical dilation and cervical maturation when cervical condition is poor before induced labor. Made of medical-grade biocompatible silicone, the product is divided into two specifications: BR-CVB-18F (common type without steel wire) and BR-CVB-18F II (pre-attached inner guiding steel wire for easier clinical placement).
The product adopts double-lumen double-balloon structure, clinical operators inject sterile normal saline into balloon cavity via dedicated injection port to expand two separated balloons. The sustained mechanical compression from inflated balloons stimulates cervical tissue to synthesize and release endogenous prostaglandin, which gradually softens and dilates cervical canal to finish physiological cervical ripening without excessive drug intervention. All products are produced in dust-free clean workshop and EO sterilized for single disposable clinical use in obstetric department of maternity hospitals.
Core Advantages
First, physical mechanical dilation mode effectively promotes natural cervical ripening, greatly reducing the dosage of induced labor medicine and lowering adverse drug reaction risks for parturient women. Compared with chemical drug induction, it obviously shortens total labor course and effectively alleviates severe delivery pain during childbirth.
Second, after correct in-vivo placement, the balloon device can keep free floating and moving inside uterine cavity without fixed binding, which creates favorable anatomical condition for fetal head descent and further natural cervical dilation. The optional built-in steel wire on BR-CVB-18F II dramatically simplifies catheter placement operation and shortens intraoperative operation time. Medical silicone raw material brings outstanding biocompatibility, minimizing vaginal irritation and allergic incidence of pregnant patients.
Application Scenarios
These cervical ripening balloons are mainly stocked and used in obstetric wards and delivery rooms of maternity hospitals, women’s & children’s hospitals and comprehensive tertiary hospitals. Its core clinical indication is induced labor for term pregnancy with unripe cervix including post-term pregnancy, mild preeclampsia and fetal oligohydramnios requiring termination of gestation.
Global medical device distributors purchase both specifications for bulk inventory to supply medium-sized maternity clinics and private obstetric medical centers worldwide for daily induced labor treatment of pregnant women.

FAQ
Q1: Is cervical ripening balloon single-use disposable?
All balloons are EO sterile disposable obstetric devices; repeated reuse is strictly forbidden per obstetric medical specification to avoid cross infection and vaginal cross-contamination.
Q2: How to choose between BR-CVB-18F and BR-CVB-18F II?
BR-CVB-18F for skilled obstetricians with abundant placement experience; BR-CVB-18F II with inner steel wire for less-experienced operators to finish quick placement.
Q3: What liquid is required to inflate the balloon?
Only sterile normal saline is allowed for balloon inflation, other liquid such as glucose or contrast medium is prohibited.
Q4: What is sterile shelf life of finished product?
5 years under cool, dry, sealed storage away from high temperature and sharp puncture damage.
