(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 21, 2011 ) Boca Raton, FL -- Long-drawn-out laborÂ… intense pushingÂ…. mothers that have experienced childbirth are most likely very familiar with these problems. Unfortunately, as if that were not enough, many are also familiar with the painful, labor induced, external hemorrhoids that accompany the joy of bringing a child into our lives.
With more than four million babies born in the U.S alone each year, this common condition affects between 750,000 and 1,000,000 of the women birthing those children. Now, there is a solution. Plexus Biomedical, Inc. presents the Hem-Avert® Perianal Stabilizer, the first ever FDA-approved device designed specifically to help prevent delivery-induced, external hemorrhoids during vaginal childbirth.
The device is completely non-invasive and acts as a hemorrhoid prevention pressure wedge that provides a supportive base to the perianal region during labor and delivery. The device works by preventing the patient's anus from overextending and gorging with blood, a condition that enhances the susceptibility of hemorrhoids during childbirth.
A randomized, multicenter clinical study demonstrated the device to be 99.8% effective in preventing delivery-induced hemorrhoids for women that delivered vaginally during the study. For those women that did not use the Hem-Avert, 25% developed hemorrhoids as a direct result of vaginal delivery. This comes as a relief to many women considering that 1 in 4 patients who develop hemorrhoids during delivery remain symptomatic four weeks later.
