Orlando Health Introduces New Device Designed to Improve Detection of Blood Loss During C-Sections<\/p>\n
ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Orlando Health is introducing a newly developed medical device designed to help physicians detect excessive blood loss more quickly during cesarean sections, a breakthrough that could improve safety for mothers during childbirth.<\/p>\n
The BleedID Vacuum Pad, developed over six years by Orlando Health maternal-fetal medicine physician Dr. Neeraj Desai and clinical nurse specialist Teresa Lance, is now being used commercially at Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies. The device is believed to be the first of its kind, using a vacuum-assisted absorbent system to collect and better visualize blood loss during obstetric and gynecological procedures.<\/p>\n
Postpartum hemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of serious maternal complications during and after childbirth. Because blood loss can be difficult to accurately measure during a C-section, clinicians often rely on visible signs or changes in a patient\u2019s blood pressure before recognizing a problem.<\/p>\n
The BleedID Vacuum Pad is designed to provide care teams with a clearer and more immediate assessment of blood loss, allowing them to identify potential complications earlier and begin treatment sooner.<\/p>\n
\u201cPostpartum hemorrhage can develop rapidly and remains one of the leading causes of maternal complications during and after childbirth,\u201d said Dr. Desai. \u201cThe BleedID system was developed to help care teams better quantify blood loss during cesarean deliveries, allowing us to identify potential concerns earlier and intervene more quickly when needed.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Orlando Health, cesarean sections are among the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the United States, making improved blood-loss detection an important advancement for maternal care.<\/p>\n
The project was developed in collaboration with the Orlando Health Strategic Innovations team, which helps physicians and healthcare professionals transform ideas into practical medical technologies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe development of BleedID exemplifies how collaboration between clinicians and our innovation team can accelerate ideas into impactful, real-world tools that improve patient safety and outcomes,\u201d said Riham Hanna, assistant vice president of Orlando Health Strategic Innovations.<\/p>\n
The BleedID Vacuum Pad is initially being deployed at Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital, with plans for broader implementation as production expands.<\/p>\n
The device has been registered under Aparata Medical, an Orlando Health subsidiary that develops regulated medical devices and is registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a specification developer.<\/p>\n
Founded more than a century ago, Orlando Health is a private, not-for-profit healthcare system serving Florida, Alabama, and Puerto Rico. The organization said it continues to invest in innovations aimed at improving patient care, safety, and health outcomes across its network.<\/p>\n
