ABSTRACT
Amniotic membrane sweeping or stripping is a safe and effective method of labor induction supported by national obstetrical organizations. While its use dates back to antiquity by both midwives and physicians there are still areas that need further research to define its role in induction of labor. A review of the literature reveals that amniotic membrane sweeping is a safe, effective, and inexpensive method of labor induction. It can be done in the outpatient setting with minimal risks so long as it is avoided in patients with contraindications. Amniotic membrane sweeping can be performed in Group B Streptococcus-positive women with studies showing no increase in untoward outcomes. However, there is no data in women infected with HIV or hepatitis.
