Intrauterine foleys—also called uterine balloons—are small, temporary devices placed inside the uterus after certain surgeries. In this video, Dr. Leigh Rosen shares how they support recovery and protect your fertility.

  • Used after fertility-focused procedures: Often placed after fibroid removal, septum surgery, or treatment for Asherman’s.
  • Prevent scar tissue: These devices gently keep the walls of the uterus apart during healing, helping to prevent adhesions from forming or returning.
  • Temporary but protective: Usually left in place for a few days, they support healing at a critical time.
  • Tailored to your care: Not every surgery requires one—your surgeon will decide based on your body and your goals.
  • Designed with your future in mind: Uterine balloons are one of many tools we use to help protect your fertility and long-term health.
