Over 300 babies safely delivered thanks to pioneering work by British doctors
Since July 2025 over 300 babies have been safely delivered thanks to the OdonAssist™, an inflatable device for assisted delivery which has been hailed by clinicians as “a breakthrough, the first entirely new approach to assist childbirth in more than a century”.
Innovation in labour and birth has historically been limited. In recent years, an international collaboration of obstetricians, midwives, engineers, industry partners and new mothers have supported the development of OdonAssist, designed to reduce birth trauma when assistance is needed towards the end of labour.
On May 5, 2026 families involved in a groundbreaking clinical trial of the OdonAssist join obstetricians, midwives and researchers at an event in the QEII Centre in London, England to celebrate this remarkable milestone in women’s medicine and care during labour.
