We are delighted to announce a new study published in the American Journal of Perinatology comparing DILAPAN-S to the Foley balloon for outpatient cervical ripening. This real-world data highlights the advantages of DILAPAN-S in a US setting.

Key findings

Key findings include a significantly lower rate of device expulsion and unscheduled hospital returns for DILAPAN-S, underscoring its predictability and convenience. Despite less favourable baseline characteristics, including significantly lower initial Bishop scores and cervical dilation, DILAPAN-S demonstrated comparable effectiveness in cervical ripening progress while providing the added benefits of higher maternal satisfaction and preference, making it a gentler and more patient-friendly option compared to Foley.
