A birth assisting module for being arranged in a region of a birth furniture where a pelvis of a mother is intended to be placed during birth, includes a pelvis mobilization support, a movement mechanics and a drive unit. The pelvis mobilization support is coupled to the movement mechanics. The movement mechanics is adapted to induce a controlled cadenced displacement of the pelvis mobilization support. The controlled cadenced displacement moves the pelvis mobilization support by at least 1 cm or at least 3 cm and preferably by at least 5 cm. The drive unit is connected to the movement mechanics to actuate the movement mechanics.

A delayed cord-clamping surface is provided that includes a newborn platform having a recessed surface configured to receive a chemical warming mattress, where the chemical warming mattress includes a conformable surface, where the newborn platform includes a detachable platform support that is configured to position the newborn platform proximal to a surgical region of a C-section patient, where the newborn platform is configured to support a newborn baby while an umbilical cord remains connected between the newborn and the C-section patient for draining from a placenta, where the newborn platform is configured to fitably mount with a warming table when the newborn platform is in a detached state from the detachable platform support.

A soft, inflatable, single use, repositioning device for ob/gyn/pelvic examination and procedures, more particularly, to single time use and/or partially reusable pillow like device. A flat collapsible/inflatable-expandable, repositioning and lifting apparatus for medical and ob/gyn examination and procedures and, more particularly, to a reposition and lift device, with a single or more than one, inflatable compartment. Various attachments may be provided, such as foot stirrups, sleeves, and handles, and optional accessories, with built in compressed gas cartridge, and/or a reusable pump for air source through connector. The device repositions, orient and raises the patient's lower back and the buttocks from supine, flat position to dorsal lithotomy and Trendelenburg position on a flat hospital bed to carry out an exam or a procedure, without moving a patient to a special exam room or using another table.

An examination table that can be used in other places than a hospital is provided. A portable examination table comprises a seat part for supporting a bottom of a patient, an angle-changeable backrest part for supporting a back of the patient, a pair of angle-changeable arm parts, abutting parts configured to be raised or lowered when the angle of the arm parts relative to the seat part is changed and abut the back of the knees of the patient, and link parts configured to link the arm parts to the backrest part and change the angle of the arm parts, and is configured to convert between an end-sitting positioning state, a lithotomy positioning state, and a folded state.

The invention is an asymmetrical bedframe. The bedframe is divided off-center, forming a first platform, or back support section and a second platform, or leg support section. Preferably, the platforms are split to separate the area of the bed frame into a first platform that occupies one-third of the area of the bedframe, and a second platform that occupies two-thirds of the area of the bedframe. The first platform—the smaller area—is intended to support the back of the user or sleeper, specifically by providing a rotational force to keep the user on their side. The second platform—the larger area—is intended to support the body of the user, including head, arms, torso, legs, and feet.

A vacuum pad may include a top layer forming a top surface of the vacuum pad; a bottom layer forming a bottom surface of the vacuum pad; and a plurality of spacers located between the top layer and the bottom layer such that an interior space is formed between the top layer and the bottom layer. The interior space may have at least one channel extending around at least one spacer of the plurality of spacers. The vacuum pad may also include an outlet tube in fluid communication with the interior space, where the top layer includes a plurality of holes. A vacuum system may include the vacuum pad along with a canister and a vacuum source for moving fluid from the vacuum pad to the canister.

A system (2; 4) for measuring the movement of a birthing mother in a birthing pool (1; 3), the system comprises: a) a birthing pool (1; 3), the pool (1; 3) comprising a base (11; 31) and a peripheral wall (12; 32) upstanding from the base (11; 31), the pool (1; 3) further comprising at least one motion sensor (21, 22; 41, 42), the motion sensor (21, 22; 41, 42) being located adjacent the peripheral wall (12; 32) and/or on the base (11; 31), and wherein the at least one motion sensor (21, 22; 41, 42) is configured or configurable to detect the movement of the birthing mother in the pool (1; 3); b) a processing means, e.g. a processor, operatively connected to the at least one motion sensor (21, 22; 41, 42); wherein the system is configured to monitor motion of the mother whilst located within the birthing pool (1; 3).

A device for collecting fluid discharged from a vagina of a woman with the woman seated or lying on a support surface, the device including a receptacle portion for receiving the fluid and a planar portion for inserting under the woman. The receptacle portion has an angled bottom surface and a drain opening for draining fluid from the receptacle portion. Also, an apparatus containing the device and a vessel for collecting and measuring fluid drained from the vessel and a method for collecting and measuring fluid loss by a woman following birth of her child by vaginal delivery.

A medical shelf for holding surgical instruments in a convenient location during obstetric care. The medical shelf includes a tray having pair of arms extending from opposing ends of a rear side thereof, wherein the arms can mount to an end of a birth delivery bed. In a mounted position, the tray provides a surface that can receive surgical instruments to allow a medical professional the ability to conveniently access the instruments while performing a procedure on a patient positioned on the bed. A first brace secures each arm to the tray in a perpendicular position and a second brace secures each arm in an L-shaped configuration. A lip is disposed around a perimeter of the tray. A gap is disposed between the arms to allow the medical professional positioned on a front side of the tray to access the patient positioned on the opposing side of the tray.
