Abstract

For many years, uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) has been used to treat severe postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), despite a lack of randomised trials to demonstrate its effectiveness. With commercial devices being expensive, clinicians in low resource settings have made their own using 2 low-cost, widely available items (Foley catheters and condoms). Public health experts have been so confident of their benefit that large programmes have been set up to disseminate the necessary skills worldwide.
