Speaker Anne Geary Schmults taught us about the Jada System, a teardrop-shaped, soft silicone ring that is placed into the uterus, where gentle suction is applied to cause the uterus to contract and shrink in size, compressing the blood vessels so the bleeding stops from postpartum hemorrhage. Created by Alydia Health the system is in its clinical trial phase but, is showing promise to be one of the most natural solutions to stop postpartum bleeding.
A recorded video of the event will be available here shortly. Make sure to sign up for our newsletter here to stay up to date with the Women’s Health + Entrepreneurship Series and get next month’s speaker announcement directly to your inbox. See you at our next event May 8th.
