Real-time blood loss collection and recognition solution for C-sections
The Bleed ID surgical drape is the first C-section drape to provide a sterile viewing window to visually assess vaginal bleeding during a procedure, while also allowing a separate viewing window for the mother to watch the birth during the procedure. Early recognition of vaginal blood loss is a major factor in preventing postpartum hemorrhage. Often when blood loss begins, it remains hidden under standard surgical drapes, leading to increased rates of postpartum hemorrhage and significantly increased cost for hospitals.
The Bleed ID Surgical drape dramatically enhances visibility of the patient’s perineum and around their legs because of our Bleed ID window in the surgical drape. By simply pulling back the Bleed ID window cover, the care team can quickly visualize any bleeding that is occurring under the drape, and react accordingly.
Our redesigned C-Section drape Bleed ID Surgical Drape allows the clinical team to easily lift the cover of the Bleed ID window to visualize any vaginal bleeding on the table. This maintains sterility and provides a view around the patient’s perineum and legs. The flap can be replaced to resume privacy when needed.
The Bleed ID Surgical Drape also includes perforated tear strips on each side, located near the patient’s hips, allowing the care team to access the patient under the drape without lifting the side of the drape and breaking sterility.
Our surgical drape also includes a Mother’s Viewing Window for the mother to watch the birth during the procedure. This includes a removable cover that remains in place during the rest of the procedure and can be removed only by the care team at the appropriate time.

The Bleed ID Suction pad allows for rapid collection of fluid lost by the patient during a c-section, allowing clinical teams to identify vaginal bleeding in real-time. Vaginal blood loss during a C-section often remains unrecognized during the procedure due to the blood collecting beneath the patient and being hidden by standard surgical drapes. By utilizing this innovative approach, clinical teams can identify the presence of vaginal bleeding and quickly quantify the blood loss volume, intervening as necessary.
Our innovative Suction Pad is placed under the patient for the duration of the C-section procedure and uses standard, single source, hospital wall-mounted vacuum suction to collect blood or fluid and transport it to a standard suction canister.
The diamond shaped "active vacuum" area allows for consistent fluid collection, regardless of patient size, positioning or fluid volume. The shape also ensures that fluid is not spilled outside the vacuum area.
