After insertion,
Biophysical
Dilapan-S® rods are inserted into the cervical canal, where they absorb moisture from the cervix
Mechanical
- The
Dilapan-S® rods expand, exerting controlled radial pressure on the cervical canal, which dilates the cervix
Physiological
- Stretching of the cervical tissue promotes the release of local endogenous prostaglandins
- Local prostaglandins initiate collagen degradation and cervical softening and ripening
The cervix gradually and predictably softens and dilates, preparing the mother for the next step in induction of labor.2,3
