Summary

This study tested a new device called KIRA that is designed to suction blood from the uterus during cesarean deliveries and collect it in a clear container so the surgical team can see and measure how much blood is lost. Ten adult women undergoing c-sections participated. The main goal was to check the device's safety and how easy it is to use.
