Postpartum hemorrhage is among the most frequent obstetric complications and with the highest mortality rate. Uterine atony is one of its main causes. Given the failure of medical management, non-invasive and less morbid therapeutic options such as uterine tamponade are of importance. In this report, we present a case of uterine atony managed with artisanal uterine tamponade with a condom, to which a drainage system is incorporated to quantify blood loss with the balloon in situ with satisfactory bleeding control. Keywords: Uterine tamponade, Postpartum hemorrhage, Uterine atony, Artisanal tamponade, Drainage tamponade.
