Abstract: A method for stemming or stopping bleeding of a hemorrhagic uterus. A pair of rigid shells in which pair of inflatable bladders is nested is placed in mirrored spaced opposition to one another in front of and behind the uterus and the broad ligament supporting the uterus. The rigid shells include a proximal base and a distal portion and have a releasable interlock comprising at least one latch only on the proximal base of one shell and at least one latch catch only in the proximal base of the other shell. The proximal base of each shell provides a platform to cantilever the distal portions when the shells are interlocked. After the placed shells are releasably interlocked, the bladders are inflated to compress the uterus anteriorly and posteriorly to stem or stop hemorrhage.

Abstract: A uterine clamp for stemming or stopping bleeding of a hemorrhagic uterus. A pair of inflatable bladders are nested in a pair of rigid shells shaped and sized to fit the anterior and posterior of a uterus without impinging on the uterine horn on placement of the shells nesting the bladders in mirrored spaced opposition to one another in front of and behind the uterus and the broad ligament supporting the uterus. At least one latch on an upper end of one shell and at least one latch catch in the upper end of the other shell provide an interlock for releasably interlocking the opposed shells in front of and behind the broad ligament anteriorly and posteriorly against the uterus for inflation of the bladders to compress the uterus to stem or stop hemorrhage.
