Abstract: A phoetal (i.e., fetal) extraction device including a frame configured to hold a biobag for receiving a baby, the frame having a distal end for insertion into a vagina, a longitudinal axis aligned with a insertion direction, and a radial direction. The frame includes frame members having distal end configured for insertion and proximal ends attached to a connecting element. The frame members extend away from the connecting elements and are circumferentially spaced apart around the longitudinal axis. The frame members are expandable in the radial direction such that a radial position of radial orientation of the frame members is adjustable relative to the connecting element. A kit of parts including at least the frame and the biobag.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an incubation system for liquid-based incubation of prematurely born infants, comprising: —an inner chamber forming an amniotic basin comprising amniotic fluid, said basin being configured for holding said infant and being made from a flexible material configured for expanding said inner chamber volume in correspondence with the growth of said infant; —an outer chamber enclosing said inner chamber and comprising a temperature regulation fluid, —a fetal connection port, arranged for connecting with the umbilical cord of said infant, said umbilical cord providing a port in said inner chamber to said infant for providing dialyzation and nutrition compounds to said infant via said umbilical cord; —a fetal control unit, connected to said fetal connection port for control of said dialyzation and control of said provided nutrition by monitoring and controlling one or more of a pressure, flow and temperature thereof; an amniotic fluid circulation unit, arranged for connecting with an

Abstract: An improved fetal ST monitoring system and method is provided using an ECG monitoring system collecting a plurality of T/QRS segments of a fetus, and a data analysis computer system connected to the ECG monitoring system calculating from the plurality of T/QRS segments.

Abstract: A system for monitoring a fetus during gestation comprises an input for receiving a plurality of electric signals measured on a surface of a maternal body; and a processor for providing a fetal electrocardiogram based on the received electric signals and based on an orientation of the fetus, wherein the fetal electrocardiogram represents a projection of a fetal cardiac potential vector according to a predetermined projection direction that is fixed with respect to the fetus. The fetal vector electrocardiogram is projected according to the projection direction. An at least partial representation of a fetal vector electrocardiogram is provided in dependence on the plurality of electric signals and indicative of a time path of an electrical field vector generated by a fetal heart of the fetus.
