Bleeding (hemorrhage), especially during or after delivery (postpartum) can lead to maternal death within a couple of hours even in a previously healthy woman. Hypertensive (high blood pressure) pregnancy disorders including Preeclampsia can develop during pregnancy or even postpartum and can lead to fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, placental abruption, maternal organ damage, seizures, and maternal and fetal deaths. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition with organ dysfunction resulting from infection during pregnancy, childbirth, post-abortion, or in the postpartum period. Amongst other conditions, these three pregnancy related diseases can be detected during quality antenatal, perinatal, and postnatal care. However, in many settings the blood pressure devices are not functioning accurately, are broken and the validity of the blood pressure and pulse results depend on the level of training of the health worker. An additional barrier for timely appropriate treatment is the health workers’ recognition of a “normal” healthy result and differentiate this from vital signs that indicate health problems, when action is needed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the CRADLE VSA work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHypertension experts from King’s college, UK, developed the CRADLE VSA with especially the Community Health Workers in mind.

Women who are sick, undernourished or anemic face the risk of faster decline due to blood loss. Different strategies exist for measuring the amount of blood lost - however, they all typically yield an underestimate. In many settings, especially low-resource settings, visual estimation is used to determine the volume of blood lost. Studies have documented that even highly trained teams notoriously underestimate the amount of blood lost via visual estimation. Visual estimation is inaccurate - by as much as 50% - and risks delay of proper emergency action to be taken at 500mL.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe E-MOTIVE trial, a randomized control trial, published in 2023, showed the fundamental importance of measuring blood loss continuously during childbirth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTHE SOLUTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis calibrated under-buttocks drape folds out into a large sterile surface for delivery.  The device allows for blood to be swept into a large calibrated pouch that indicates when the danger points have been reached (500 mL is the official definition for postpartum hemorrhage in many settings).  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe obstetric drape comes in sterile packaging and folds out to a 1x1 meter sterile area for a woman to give birth.

The current means of administering ARVs to an infant are often with a bottle and dropper, a method that has proven to be messy and unreliable.

Many women give birth at home (50 percent globally) and live too far from a clinic to travel back and forth.  ARVs in a bottle are subject to measurement errors and spills.  With the Pratt Pouch, a mother brings home a 14 day to six week supply of pre-dosed pouches.  At home she tears open the pre-dosed package and drops the life-saving drugs into the infant's mouth.  Studies of the Pratt Pouch in the field indicate that dosing accuracy improves from 50 percent to 90 percent with use of the Pratt Pouch, allowing enhanced prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique four-layer pouch is a drug delivery device that preserves antiretroviral medicines at room temperature and allows PMTCT (prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV).

In Uganda, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is scaling up the Pratt Pouch to reach 40,000 HIV positive mothers and to prevent the transmission of HIV from mother to child, with support from The Gates Foundation and Saving Lives at Birth. The unique packaging allows antiretrovirals to be packaged for a life span of 12 months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocal pharmacies can be equipped to fill the pouches on location and then distribute the pouches to hospitals, clinics and rural communities. There are two models currently in use for pouch filling:  1) In Ecuador, pouches are filled by hand using a simple syringe, syringe tip and pouch sealing setup 2) In Uganda centralized and mechanized pouch filling machines are being set up in cooperation with the Ministry of Health. At home, a mother or caregiver tears open the Pratt pouch packet and squeeze the medication into a baby’s mouth – much like a packet of ketchup. User feedback indicates that mothers prefer this discreet method of providing ARVs, reducing the stigma associated with HIV status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[\/below]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maternova Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31902090180,"sku":"-","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1563\/1727\/products\/22.png?v=1660649294"},{"product_id":"nasg","title":"Non-Pneumatic Anti Shock Garment (NASG)","description":"\u003ch1 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNon-pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG)—the Evidence-based, First Aid Device that Reduces Maternal Mortality\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe NASG is a low-cost, evidence-based, first-aid device used to stabilize women experiencing obstetric hemorrhage (bleeding before or after childbirth).

Knowledge of the presence or absence of pregnancy is fundamental to determining a range of medical and life choices. Worldwide, an estimated 44% of pregnancies are unintended. Translated this means there are 62 unintended pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 15-44. Although estimations don’t exist, women with unintended pregnancies are more likely to recognize their pregnancies late. Late recognition has been shown to be associated with poor birth outcomes like premature birth, low-birth-weight, and NICU admissions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTHE SOLUTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe core mechanism of action of the pregnancy tests is the detection of the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. hCG is a hormone produced by a woman in pregnancy, as it is released when a fertilized egg embeds in the uterine wall.  We offer a range of pregnancy tests, including basic and high sensitivity dipstick urine tests with fast and accurate readouts. Urine tests are most reliable when used 2-3 weeks after potential conception. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAlso available are mid-stream pregnancy tests for use during urination. This test is an antigen-capture immunochromatographic assay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe test is done by holding the testing strip vertically into a container containing a urine or serum sample until the sample has migrated to the test window. The testing strip is then laid flat. The test works by detecting hCG in the serum or urine sample as it flows through the assay by first hCG antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold that attach to hCG and provide a “visual tag” for the antigen-antibody-colloidal gold complex and second, by a test zone with immobilized antibodies that capture the complex, the visual tags producing a visible pink-colored band that is confirmation of the presence of hCG. If there is no pink line, hCG is not present, indicating a negative result for pregnancy.

Designed specifically for the low-resource hospitals, it is an effective, affordable and user-friendly solution that is effective in combating respiratory distress. The device allows the flow of pressurized air into the infant’s lungs through nasal prongs and tubes. This air flow can be augmented with oxygen from a separate source as well. The air flow is pressurized through a very simple process of submerging the tube in a bottle of water attached to the device.
