C SAFE Animation
Please view our animated video for proper technique on the use of C SAFE to puncture then enter a labored or non-labored uterus.
“In trial use during a cesarean delivery, C SAFE worked exactly as expected. Push the blunted plastic tip through the uterus, nend your hand, push the device, and voila – a hysterotomy with almost no laceration risk to the baby”
“C SAFE is another example of a truly simple device that someone should have thought of sooner but didn’t”
“C SAFE won me over. With all the wasted money we throw at the sacred altar of Patient Safety, this product actually makes sense and is worth the marginal cost. I think it is time we made newborn lacerations a “never” event and C SAFE is one tool to get us there.”
