Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is excessive bleeding of greater than 500 ml after childbirth and is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. National statistics suggest that PPH occurs in up to 5% of births and is the cause of approximately 8% of maternal deaths. It is estimated that worldwide, 140,000 maternal deaths are caused by PPH per year, or 1 woman every 4 minutes.

The ebb™ treats postpartum hemorrhage and helps physicians combat this serious obstetrical issue.

Marketed under the trade name ebb™, the Belfort-Dildy Obstetric Tamponade System is indicated for use in temporary control or reduction of postpartum uterine bleeding. The ebb™ is the first rapid response balloon tamponade device that provides a complete tamponade solution for postpartum hemorrhage when time is critical. The device offers increased capacity for total conformation to the uterine cavity and, through direct rapid inflation via IV bag spike, provides quick response time. The dual balloons allow secure treatment of both uterine and vaginal bleeding, and the polyurethane material is a unique design innovation.
