Performance of El Mulla's device
under clinical conditions


The following table represents the results of recent clinical trials conducted at the Medical Research Institute of Alexandria University. These were aimed at comparing the outcomes of epidural anesthesia with and without using El Mulla's balloon device. The trials were conducted using two groups of 15 patients each, within the ages 35-57 and carefully matched to obtain good correspondence between the 2 groups. When evaluated, the results were found to be statistically highly significant.

To Conclude: 

  • El Mulla's Device has been fully and successfully tested under exacting clinical conditions.
  • It was also found, that this device will solve many of the problems usually encountered by beginning practitioners in epidural analgesia, as it is a valuable aid in identifying the location of the epidural space until they acquire sufficient experience for identifying sensations connected with the various ligaments. Also, this has relevance to pain practitioners, neurologists and even obstetritians in connection with the painless delivery of the epidural procedure.
  • The ease of using this device should allow the rapid spread of epidural analgesia, especially in developing countries, where many practitioners are relatively inexperienced in epidural procedures.
