Ellavi Uterine Balloon Tamponade (UBT) For PPH - free shipping

The free fluid flow between the supply bag and the balloon, the amount of pressure applied can be varied by changing the height of the supply bag.

As the uterus contracts, the free-flow system responds, working in harmony with the patient’s normal physiological processes. The balloon contracts, and fluid moves back into the supply bag. This is not possible in a closed system, requiring manual intervention.

During patient transport, the required pressure can be set up with the free-flow in place, then the tap closed, allowing the pressure to continue to be applied during transit, even when the supply bag is moved to a lower position.

The free-flow system is also used to check if bleeding has stopped - the supply bag is lowered to reduce the applied pressure, and the patient checked for blood loss.

To use, fill the supply bag with 1L sterile water or spike a 1L saline bag.

Inserted transvaginally for both vaginal or caesarean births.

Can be left in place for up to 24 hours.

Ellavi UBT is pre-assembled, fills in under one minute, and acts swiftly to stop bleeding. It is easy to use and, once trained, any maternal health care provider should
be able to insert it.

Water moves freely between the balloon and the bag. As soon as the uterus regains its ability to contract, the water is pushed back towards the bag. This provides a visual indication of improved uterine contractility and facilitates faster balloon removal.

Simply lifting the bag allows water to fill the balloon. Adjusting the vertical height of the bag controls pressure between the balloon and the uterus. This pressure needs to be slightly higher than the blood pressure in the uterus to stop bleeding.
