Laminaria tents/Japonica tents are
capable of absorbing fluids from uterine cervix. The tents swell gradually
up to four times their diameters and make an indulgent and symmetrical
dilation of the cervical canal. Laminaria tents/Japonica tents diameters swell within
the first 6 hours after insertion and may continue to grow for 24 hours
in total.
Throughout the world,
leading physicians and gynecologists have appreciated Laminaria tents/Japonica tents
for more than a century, in cases where dilation of the cervix is indicated
and are often preferred to the Hegar's dilators. The use of Hanka or Hegar's
dilators is attended with the risk of uternine perforation and cervical
laceration. The gradual swelling of the Laminaria has been found to be
far less traumatic than rapid dilation methods. The swelling is quick,
regular and reliable.
