Transcervical Balloon Compared to Osmotic Dilators Prior to Surgical Abortion: a Non-Inferiority Randomized Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Single Foley Balloon and Dilapan-S for Abortion, Second Trimester. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a Foley balloon is similar to osmotic dilators for preparing the cervix prior to a second trimester abortion. Procedure time will be used to compare the two different methods of cervical preparation, reflecting the ease at which the surgeon can perform through a prepared cervix. The aim is to expand effective options for cervical preparation that will can accommodate for varying patient characteristics and provider experiences.
