LABOR AND DELIVERY When Safety and Reliability Matter Most UTAH MEDICAL PRODUCTS FEMCARE

Accurate, consistently reliable information about uterine activity is essential to following ACOG guidelines for managing high risk labor and achieving a safe delivery.

This design is intended to allow the clinician to gently apply pressure to both internal and external os while simultaneously applying pressure within the cevical canal. • Conical shaped balloons, designed with no gap in between, form an hourglass shape...

Balloon Tamponade Catheter for Postpartum Hemorrhage Simple and Timely When it’s Needed “The advantages of using balloon tamponade include its ease of use, rapid replacement, immediate results, and ability to measure further bleeding after the catheter is placed.” (Dabelea et al. Am J Perinatal 2007:24;6 p.363) ACOG recommends that, “When treating postpartum hemorrhage, it is necessary to balance the use of conservative management techniques with the need to [timely] control the bleeding and achieve hemostasis.” (ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 76, Oct. 2006) A systematic, stepwise approach to managing...

In a vacuum-assisted operative delivery, a hospital’s exposure to lawsuits after an unwanted outcome is not reduced by simply limiting the VAD to one person. In fact, it may be increased since success depends primarily on the knowledge and skill of the practitioners involved. When experience matters, two are better than one. Vacuum Assisted Delivery Systems Reducing Risk in Operative Delivery If a well-trained physician correctly determines that fetal condition, station and position indicates a vacuum assisted operative delivery procedure, places a vacuum cup properly on the fetal occiput, applies...
