Prytime Medical Announces Key Prolonged REBOA Advancements to Treat Maternal Hemorrhage

BOERNE, Texas, Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Prytime Medical, The REBOA Company™, is proud to announce significant strides made in 2024 to improve maternal care. These accomplishments underscore the company's unwavering commitment to ensuring that no mother should bleed to death. Key highlights include:

Empowering Women with High-Risk Pregnancies

After years of hoping for a fourth child, Jessica Barnhart's pregnancy took a dangerous turn with a c-section scar ectopic pregnancy and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Facing life-threatening risks, Jess found hope with Dr. Robert Cohen of Medical City Dallas, who provided a clear care plan that included the pREBOA-PRO^™ catheter. Despite the challenges, including the potential for life-threatening hemorrhage, Jess chose Dr. Cohen's team. Following a complex delivery supported by extended aortic occlusion times and central aortic pressure monitoring technology, Jess had dramatically reduced hemorrhage, and she and her baby Quin survived. Today, Quin is a healthy toddler, and Jess credits Dr. Cohen's care and innovative treatment with saving her life and keeping her family whole.

In an effort to raise awareness and improve patient outcomes, Prytime Medical continues to partner with survivors like Jess Barnhart to share and amplify their stories. These personal experiences help inform and inspire others facing high-risk pregnancies, particularly those with PAS conditions.

Replacing Opinion with Data: 54 Obstetric Hemorrhage Cases in 2024

In 2024, 54 mothers with Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS)-related conditions have benefited from Prytime Medical's pREBOA-PRO^™ catheter, marking a significant increase in the use of the pREBOA-PRO^™ catheter for obstetric hemorrhage management since 2023¹. These cases, including procedures at Medical City Dallas and several additional planned cases, demonstrate the expanding role of REBOA in addressing complex obstetric emergencies.

Dr. Robert Cohen (Medical City Dallas): "As the need for pREBOA-PRO^™ in PAS cases continues to grow, the ability to pause bleeding & stabilize my patients is proving to be a critical tool in saving lives and improving maternal outcomes."

Expansion of Clinical Collaboration: New Partnerships with Leading Hospitals

Prytime Medical has expanded its reach in 2024 by partnering with two new leading hospitals to integrate prolonged safe hemorrhage control into the management of obstetric hemorrhage and PAS. These collaborations are pivotal in advancing the role of REBOA in maternal care, allowing more healthcare providers to implement advanced hemorrhage control techniques.

Dr. Mehmet Genc (UF Shands): "Prolonged REBOA has transformed the way we approach high-risk pregnancies. It's become an essential part of our strategy for managing life-threatening obstetric hemorrhage, and we see tremendous potential for its future use."

Research Contributions: New Publications on Prolonged REBOA & Obstetric Hemorrhage

Dr. Robert Cohen and his team at Medical City Dallas have contributed three significant publications in 2024, further validating the clinical benefits of prolonged REBOA in obstetric hemorrhage. These papers, focusing on the application of prolonged REBOA in obstetrics, add to the growing body of evidence supporting its ability to improve maternal outcomes in severe hemorrhage scenarios.

Peer-to-Peer Collaboration: Multicenter Calls on Obstetric Hemorrhage

This year, Prytime Medical facilitated four peer-to-peer multicenter calls where clinicians from around the world shared their experiences with prolonged REBOA in obstetric hemorrhage cases. These collaborative events serve as a valuable platform for best practices, new techniques, and the evolving role of prolonged REBOA in managing obstetric emergencies.
