COMPRESSIVE PLATES FOR THE PLACENTA INSERTION SITE FOR USE IN CASES OF PLACENTA PRAEVIA

摘要

The present invention proposes compressive plates for the placenta insertion site for use in cases of placenta praevia, comprising: a plate-shaft formed by a primary plate to which a threaded bar is attached, having two machined planes and a reduction in diameter at the end thereof; a secondary plate which has a bore with a diameter and shape allowing the bar to be inserted; a punch that has a conical point; a nut and a locknut; and a cover. The punch pierces the anterior and posterior walls of the uterus corresponding to the placenta insertion site. Next, the secondary plate is inserted and brought closer to the primary plate until sufficient pressure is achieved to prevent bleeding, the nut and locknut are placed and finally, the protection cover is screwed on.
