“… The mother didn´t understand why suddenly a person was sitting on top of her, squeezing down on her belly. The midwife had to roar at her to accept the manoeuvre, although it was painful.“

“No woman should fear for her life when giving birth. Effective solutions to tackle postpartum bleeding need to be available and accessible so that all women can experience a safe birth and a healthy future with their families.“
“The management of postpartum hemorrhage, particularly in severe cases, requires significant healthcare resources including blood transfusions, surgical interventions, and extended hospital stays.“
“Time is of the essence when responding to postpartum bleeding, so interventions that eliminate delays in diagnosis or treatment should be gamechangers for maternal health.“

How it works
Reliable Aortic Compression
External compression of the distal abdominal aorta significantly reduces uterine blood flow while maintaining central blood pressure and perfusion of vital organs.
Zero maternal deaths
