The procedure for using a balloon catheter varies depending on the application, but generally involves the following steps:
1. Insertion: The catheter is gently inserted into the target area, such as the cervix or uterus. 2. Inflation: The balloon at the end of the catheter is inflated with either air or fluid. 3. Therapeutic Action: The inflated balloon performs its intended function, such as dilating the cervix, applying pressure, or delivering energy. 4. Deflation and Removal: Once the therapeutic action is complete, the balloon is deflated and the catheter is carefully removed.
