Why postpartum hemorrhage matters

The leading cause of maternal mortality

Postpartum hemorrhage is a:

Common complication of childbirth

Dangerous, sometimes fatal, development

Preventable occurrence in many cases

Risk for every woman, every pregnancy

11.2
%
of maternal deaths in the U.S. are due to PPH.1
20
%
of maternal deaths worldwide are due to PPH.2
40
%
of PPH occurs in women with no known risk factors.3
70
%
of maternal deaths from hemorrhage are preventable.4

Why does excessive blood loss go undetected in a C-section?

Traditional surgical drape obscures blood loss

Vaginal bleeding occurs underneath the surgical drape, making it nearly impossible to see bleeding when it occurs.

Clinicians respond to symptoms of blood loss

Symptoms of hemorrhage may not be obvious until a significant amount of blood is lost, costing clinicians precious time.

A visual estimate of blood loss is inaccurate

Visual estimation can lead to subjective inaccuracies, which can cause overestimation or underestimation of blood loss, further hindering necessary measures required to help a patient.⁵

Introducing the Bleed ID system

Real-time blood loss collection and recognition solution for C-sections

Surgical drape

The Bleed ID C-section drape allows the clinical team to easily lift the cover of the window to see vaginal bleeding on the table. This maintains sterility and provides a view around the patient’s perineum and legs.

Suction pad

Not for Commerical Sale, Investigational Use Only
The Bleed ID suction pad is placed under the patient for the duration of the procedure and is connected to a portable vacuum source or standard wall-mounted vacuum suction, which collects fluid for visualization and quantification.
