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.
