Objective: To compare the effective of the modified double balloon Foley catheter (MDB) versus the single balloon foley catheter (SB) on labor induction. Subject and method: This prospective blind trial randomized 80 pregnant women were randomized to MDB group and 80 pregnant women to SB group. Primary outcomes were the rate of cervical ripening success, Bishop score increment, catheter withdrawal time, and cesarean section rate. Result: Cervical ripening success of MDB was 82.5% versus 67.5% of SB with p<0.01. Average Bishop score increment of MDB was 5.63 hour versus 5.02 hour of SB with p=0.033. Cesarean section rate was higher in SB group than MDB group (32.5% and 20.0%, respectively, p=0.048). Conclusion: Using the modified double balloon foley catheter to induce labor is a feasible and effective procedure.
