Reducing Fetal Complications

Prioritizing Ease of Use

Data from a small study has shown Fetal Pillow may lower uterine extensions^2† and reduce blood loss in a full dilation cesarean section,^3‡ and may contribute to reductions in hospital stay.^3§

Fetal Pillow has been shown to reduce delivery time after hysterotomy by 23 seconds^2Ω and in a study, resulted in a higher mean cord arterial pH of 7.24 ±0.06 vs 7.19 ±0.09 with hand push method.^3††

Fetal Pillow was designed to be easy to use. When surveyed, 100% of physicians found ease of delivery with Fetal Pillow^2‡‡, and 97% said they would recommend and use again.^2§§

Footnotes:
†: Inflated (n = 6), Not-Inflated (n=13), numerically significant (P = 0.05).
‡: Fetal Pillow (n= 91), Hand-push (n= 69); mean 273±145 mL vs 403±199 mL respectively (P=0.026).
§: Fetal Pillow (n= 91), Hand-push (n= 69); mean 77.9 ± 19.6 hours vs 97.8 ± 27.6 hours respectively (P= 0.002)
Ω: Inflated (n=30), Not-Inflated (n=30); median 31 (24-37) vs 54 (41-72) seconds respectively (P<0.01).
