Experimenting with the UBT
Last week we put the condom-catheter Uterine Balloon Tamponade (UBT) to the test. We filled the balloon with 0.5 liters of water and tested out how long it would last – UBT’s are usually needed for anywhere up to 48 hours. The UBT lasted over four days.
We fill up the UBT
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3: UBT was showing signs of deformation in the shape of the balloon.
Day 4
