01
Biophysical action
Osmotic dehydration of the cervix promotes progressive softening and controlled change in cervical tissue consistency.
Obstetrics
DILAPAN-S
A synthetic, non-pharmacological osmotic cervical dilator designed for gradual and predictable cervical ripening.
Information intended for healthcare professionals and institutions.
Overview
A medical device designed to expand clinical options
DILAPAN-S is made from Aquacryl®, a patented synthetic hydrogel that expands as it absorbs fluids. It was designed as a mechanical option for cervical ripening during induction of labor.
Represented and distributed in Panama by Akromed. Use is subject to applicable indications, training and manufacturer documentation.
Product information
Technology and mode of action
02
Mechanical action
As the dilators expand, they apply uniform radial pressure to support gradual and predictable dilation.
03
Physiological action
Continuous pressure stimulates endogenous prostaglandin release and contributes to physiological cervical effacement.
