case_images: A silicone double balloon cervical ripening catheter (Cook Cervical Ripening Balloon) was introduced into the cervical canal (Figures 1 and 2). 80 mL of normal saline was inserted in the uterine valve and 60 mL of normal saline inserted in was introduced into the vaginal valve.
case_images: Distance between the two balloons can be stretched approximately 5 cm.

case_images: Upon insufflation, the cervix was compressed between the two balloons of the catheter and hemostasis was rapidly achieved (Figures 3 and 4).
case_images: Illustration of "sandwich effect" of the two inflated balloons. Note that space between the balloons is stretchable and can accommodate the entire cervix.
