BBC features Obstecare
posted 29.08.2010
The benefits of Obstecare’s AFL™ (Amniotic Fluid Lactate) testing has been picked up by the BBC in an article, Test Could Predict Which Mothers will Need Caesareans. They acknowledge that “Prolonged labours which end up in a Caesarean section are seen by many as the worst of all worlds”, and that Obstecare’s AFL™ test “could help decide whether to end a difficult labour and opt for a Caesarean earlier”.

Neoventa announce Nanomaterial sensors - measure lactate in fetus during labour
posted 23.06.2010
Swedish researchers have discovered a new method to manufacture nanomaterial sensors which make
it possible to measure different components of body liquids. Nanexa, the company which owns the technology,
has signed an exclusive agreement with Neoventa Medical, manufacturers of STAN, to develop this technology.
Nanexa and Neoventa are working on developing a sensor to be attached to electrodes which will continually
measure lactate during labour and delivery. As an indicator of oxygen depletion in the fetus, lactate is
extremely useful in predicting labour outcome.
