We continue to carry out small studies in the U.S. in order to further investigate the mechanisms of action of the LifeWrap. These findings will help us improve our training, use and understanding of this important device.
So far this has involved a hemodynamic study of 10 women post-delivery at San Francisco General Hospital led by Dr. Juan Vargas and Dr. Felicia Lester; a Manometer Study of 10 women at UCSF Medical Center led by Dr. Felicia Lester and Carinne Meyer and a second manometer study on the effect of BMI and strength of application of the garment on 10 women led by Dr.Amy Stenson, also at UCSF Medical Center.
