ellavi balloon (ubt)

A pre-assembled uterine balloon tamponade that stops bleeding at the lowest level of care and buys the time needed to treat the cause or transfer the mother.

From uterotonics take time to work, bleeding continues, coagulopathy develops and inability to transport the patient — to insert at any level of care, simultaneous use with uterotonics, use early to temporise bleeding and transport with the balloon in situ
