CONTROLLING THE BLEEDING IN TIME

RESQ-MEDICAL

ResQ Medical is an Israeli startup company established in August 2022 with the support of the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) and Youdim Pharmaceuticals a private professional leading investor in the medical field. The company developed a safe, effective, cutting-edge device for treating Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH). Our goal is to become an essential tool in every delivery room & the first choice in the treatment of PPH and alleviate the risks and the potential complications to which millions of women each year are exposed during delivery.

Market and Business Opportunity

The global market for postpartum hemorrhage devices expected to exceed $1.35 billion by 2030, CAGR of 5.4% over the forecast period. Further, the increasing rate of complications in pregnancies is a major factor driving the demand for postpartum hemorrhage devices, thereby contributing to market growth. It is estimated that nearly 5% of women giving birth in the United States develop PPH after giving birth, meaning about 200,000 women a year in the US alone!

The Need

  • Before undertaking surgical operations, an attempt is made to stop the bleeding using dedicated devices, from which the go to device today is the Uterine balloon Tamponade (UBT) , an expanding balloon that aims to control bleeding by compressing the intrauterine blood vessels.
  • These solutions essentially work against the body’s natural mechanism of contracting the uterus to stop bleeding, resulting in a significant failure rate of 30%. The market is in need of an effective, reliable, easy-to-use, and affordable solution!

Alma

An innovative device which is attentive to the physiology and anatomy. The mode of operation mimics the contraction of the uterus for stopping the bleeding as occurring naturally in any normal birth.

Advantages

Our approach with ALMA is to support the natural contraction of the uterus which in turn leads to the cessation of the bleeding as occurring naturally in any normal birth, and which doesn’t occur in the case of PPH. This innovative approach contrasts with the medical devices used today, which are based on inserting and inflating a balloon inside the uterine cavity- causing the uterus to expend against the natural mechanism of the body.

Mimicking Natural Uterine Contraction to Control PPH:
  • Facilitates uterine contraction to compress and close leaking blood vessels Safe and Efficient:
  • The semi-flexible anatomical design supports natural uterine contractions, reducing recovery time
  • Continuous low-level vacuum promotes controlled and safe uterine collapse
Simple and Intuitive Operation:
  • Easy insertion and removal
  • Cost-effective solution
