A Cesarean Section performed in the second stage of labour affects around 4% of all births, and carries an increased risk of trauma for both the mother and her baby1, 2. Intra-operative complications account for the majority of morbidity and often occur as a result of the increased manipulation required to deliver a deeply impacted fetal head.
Simple
Fetal Pillow® is very simple to use, it is inserted during patient preparation and does not delay starting the procedure.
Safe
Fetal Pillow® enables a gentle and controlled elevation of the deeply impacted head. It is designed to ensure safer and easier delivery, which helps to reduce trauma to both mother and baby.
Effective
Fetal Pillow® reduces intra-partum and post-partum complications. There is also a significant reduction in blood loss, operating time and length of stay.
Clinical Evidence
Fetal Pillow is intended to elevate a deeply impacted fetal head and facilitate delivery of the fetus in women requiring a Cesarean Section at full dilation or those requiring a Cesarean Section after a failed instrumental vaginal delivery.
Fetal Pillow is indicated for use at a gestational age ≥37 weeks.
