Technology & Product(s)<br />

EasyLabour ® conveniently and comfortably applies acupressure to six specific acupressure points, three<br />

points on each side of the spine, on the sacral foramina of a woman during labour.A dedicated clinical trial to<br />

determine the level of pain relief experienced was conducted in the obstetrics department of a large medical<br />

center.<br />

The results indicated that continuous rotational pressure applied to the sacral area while using the selfoperated<br />

electro-mechanical device was found to significantly reduce labour pain within five minutes.<br />

Preliminary indications also suggest a shorter pain period during a contraction while using EasyLabour.<br />

EasyLabour ® is a CE mark, Class I device. Several hospitals are now using EasyLabour ® worldwide as a<br />

complementary pain relief alternative.<br />
