  • Patent number: 6350463
    Abstract: Premature Rupture of the Membranes (PROM) is a serious complication of pregnancy. PROM is treated by creation of a seal or barrier at the site of the rupture or in or near the cervix, thereby controlling the loss of amniotic fluid and preventing bacterial access. Instruments and techniques for application of sealing and barrier-forming materials at appropriate sites are described, as well as appropriate selection of materials and formation techniques. The instruments and techniques facilitate application of any fluent material to physiology associated with pregnancy and rendering the fluent material non fluent so as to form a barrier of seal.
