We use a simple IUI catheter for 90+% of our cases. Costs 10% of a dedicated catheter and though it does not have a baloon or anything fancy it usually gets a good image. We save the more expensive dedicated types for the failures.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
