In
keeping with its focus on patient safety in OB/GYN product innovation,
the BT-Cath®, balloon tamponade catheter may be indicated in the
management of severe primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) or uterine
bleeding following any intrauterine surgical procedure.
Intended to replace traditional means of uterine packing as a treatment for severe PPH, BT-Cath® provides a timely and effective approach that allows uterine tamponade with a means to monitor lost blood volume. In addition, BT-Cath® may be used to treat uterine hemorrhage following intrauterine surgical procedures such as Dilation and Curettage (D & C) or Hysteroscopy.
BT-Cath’s Features Include:
a balloon design that is easy to insert, contours to uterine shape,
provides fluid drainage and does not require an invasive surgical
procedure to remove.
an intrauterine drainage port that 
is
flush with the catheter balloon minimizing risk of uterine injury.
a dual lumen catheter that allows infusion of saline to expand the
balloon while providing uterine drainage to monitor the progression
of hemostasis.
durable silicone components which allow for patient comfort while
maintaining optimal biocompatibility and strength.
two syringes which provide for uninterrupted infusion of saline for
controlled tamponade expansion.
a bag spike and stopcock equipped with 
check
valves for efficient saline infusion without the need to repeatedly
open and close a stopcock.
ACOG Clinical Management Guidelines state, “When
treating PPH, it is necessary to balance the use of conservative management
techniques with the need to [timely] control the bleeding and achieve
hemostasis.”
A systematic, stepwise approach to managing PPH includes the use of
BT-Cath®.
