A Device for Diagnosis of Uterine Scar Integrity in the Early Postpartum Period

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

An experimental model of an original device for the diagnosis of uterine scar integrity in the early postpartum period is described. The design of the device is described, along with methods of assessing uterine scar integrity in the early postpartum period; the effectiveness of using this device for the diagnosis of defects is assessed in an experimental model. The diagnostic accuracy of the device is compared with that of manual examination of the uterine cavity.
