Maternova’s website: http://maternova.net/ is a great source for innovative products aimed at saving maternal and newborn lives.
Maternova doesn’t only showcase other innovative products but have developed their own. I love the Maternova Obstetric Kit — it’s a great add on to midwive bags.
The pak is focused on preventing postpartum hemorrhage. It contains a simple set of simple tools to stuff in a suitcase or backpack. The tools in this pak are meant to be used in addition to a standard midwifery kit. The kit includes the following
:
• power: a win
ds on the Active Management of the Third Stage of Labodable mobile phone charger to call for help or referral
• light: a solar powered headlamp with adjustable visor to see births
• a calibrated drape to measure blood loss (this can be sterilized with bleach but is not
autoclavable)
• WHO Colour Scale to detect anemia (comes with 200 test strips)
• Reminder Car
