This astonishing piece of equipment is potentially life-saving for certain mothers at high risk of blood loss during labour. It collects and automatically transfuses blood lost by the patient meaning that mothers in critical stages of labour can receive their own blood as a transfusion. This is an extraordinary piece of equipment which means that patients with unusual blood types and those who are unable to receive blood from other donors for religious reasons can be saved and many other complications associated with the receiving of donated blood are removed.
