This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $304,452 to 3VO Medical, Inc. aims to develop a minimally invasive intrauterine labor augmentation system (ILAS) to address prolonged first-stage labor in low-risk childbirths. The ILAS utilizes a catheter-balloon technology to provide fluidic pressure modulation synchronized with labor contractions, with the goal of directly increasing labor forces and relieving uterine muscle demand to make childbirth safer. This SBIR Phase I project will focus on developing and mechanically validating the highest-risk intrauterine assembly components, including refining the biomaterial properties, finalizing the catheter-balloon configuration, and testing the system under simulated intrauterine conditions. The outcomes are expected to be a mechanically validated system using suitable biomaterials for preclinical translation in the next stage of development.
