Prevent The Primary Section
Device Development Progress
We are a diverse group with a common goal fundraising to complete a project that will develop a medical device that will reduce the chance of cesarean section by a estimated 20% for failure to progress in labor and prevent injury to sensitive maternal tissues. Funding goals have been set to cover the cost needed to cover phases 1 thru 5 in the development process (see below). The device has been patented and VitaTek has been selected to develop the device so it can be used by laboring women around the world.
