how it works
placement
Positioning the indicator line on the edge of the bed ensures correct drape placement. Blood flow is channelled towards the pouch by lifting the sides of the drape.
pouch position
Long straps allow the drape to be tied to the mother without hindering breastfeeding.
foot-end – tie beneath the mother’s breasts
bed side – tie diagonally across her abdomen
post c-section
The drape is placed on the recovery bed. Transfer the mother from the theatre bed onto the drape to monitor blood loss. A pillow is placed under her knees.
