  • Patent number: 11931074
    Abstract: An embodiment of a uterine hemorrhage controlling system comprises a suction module including a suction end coupleable to a pump by a connecting tube, and a sealing module coupled to the suction module. The system may further comprise the pump and a filter coupled to the suction module. A uterine hemorrhage controlling method comprises: shielding a suction module that has been delivered into a uterus; sealing an entrance into the uterus while the suction module is situated within the uterus; applying a negative pressure within the uterus upon activation of a pump; and maintaining the negative pressure within the uterus to induce uterine contraction. The method may further comprise delivering the suction module into the uterus; transmitting bodily fluids, out of the uterus through the suction module, and filtering the bodily fluids.

  • Patent number: 9550014
    Abstract: A uterine contractile device includes a series of perforated tubes, a sealing balloon, and an additional connecting tube to deliver a vacuum force inside the lumen of a postpartum uterus. The uterine contractile device may be used after child birth to facilitate contraction of a woman's uterus. By facilitating contraction of the uterus, a medical professional may achieve immediate and sustained hemostasis of the mother.
