About this trial

The objective of the study ist to compare the Dilapan-S and the Cook Ballon device for the mechanical induction of labour in women with a previous C-section. There is currently lack of data regarding this comparison of the two methods for mechanical labour induction in this patient collective. Any method used for labour induction is therefore off-label. The primary outcome is the time between placement of the device and delivery. Ad secondary outcomes are among others the cesarean delivery rate and patient satisfaction with the induction method.
