We have finished the randomisation pilot and are currently recruiting to the observational cohort. This means women who are planning a vaginal breech birth at participating sites are eligible to receive OptiBreech Care, and we collect data about the care and outcomes of these births to monitor the safety of this care.
We are delighted to update you with some of our latest publications:
