NCT ID NCT05373342
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new device designed to prevent surgical swabs (small towels used to soak up blood) from being accidentally left inside a patient during childbirth. About 70 women giving birth will take part, and the device will be used during cesarean sections or vaginal repairs. The goal is to see if the device helps staff spot missing swabs more easily and improves safety, reducing a serious but preventable error.
