A compact device to minimize infections like Puerperal sepsis during labour through bowel evacuation

Implementing Organization

About

The project aims to develop a compact device to minimize infections, particularly Puerperal sepsis, during labor. The technology comprises a comprehensive system with a vacuum pump, pressure regulator, waste collection components, attachment cup, and hose pipe. Notably, a 3D model of a mannequin is created to design a fecal matter collection cup, which is then 3D printed using FDM. A silicone molding process ensures flexibility, and transparent piping maintains an airtight seal between the silicone cup and the collection unit. The control box, equipped with various components, establishes a closed-loop control system to monitor and maintain negative pressure in the collection cup.

Patents

A patent application with the number 202341057402 was filed on 27th August 2023, under the jurisdiction of Mangaluru, Dakshina Kannada.

Outcome / Output

The envisioned impact of the device extends to the reduction of maternal mortality and healthcare costs, contributing positively to maternal health during labor.
