New vacuum device aims to stop postpartum bleeding without surgery
NCT ID NCT06452355
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a device called KOKO, which uses gentle suction inside the uterus to remove excess blood and help the uterus contract, stopping heavy bleeding after childbirth. About 72 women who experience significant blood loss within 24 hours of delivery will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the device can control bleeding safely and avoid the need for more invasive treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
KOKO device (intrauterine vacuum drain)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could provide a quick, non-surgical way to stop heavy bleeding after childbirth, potentially reducing the need for more invasive procedures.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with only 72 participants, so results may not apply to all cases. The device may not control bleeding in every patient, and there is a risk of device-related side effects.
