Cervical Ripening With Foley Bulb Versus Dilapan-S at Home

DILAPAN-S® was FDA-approved for pre-induction cervical ripening in 2015. Since that time, there have been limited studies comparing its efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction to other mechanical cervical ripening techniques. The purpose of this trial is to perform a noninferiority randomized clinical trial comparing DILAPAN-S® to the Foley catheter for outpatient cervical ripening in term elective labor inductions, examining time spent on the labor and delivery unit, patient safety, and patient satisfaction feedback.
