providing the best possible care.

The traxi device will be one of many innovations in obstetrics and
gynecology that will be presented at the FIGO World Congress, an event

women’s health. FIGO is a worldwide non‐profit organization that
represents obstetricians and gynecologists throughout 125 countries and

solutions that can help improve outcomes is part of our core values,”
said Jeffrey Bradford, Vice President, Global Marketing for Clinical
Innovations. “The traxi device is just one example of our extensive
product portfolio focused in labor and delivery. We look forward to
sharing ideas and new solutions with clinicians at FIGO.”

Of the approximately 7,000 expected attendees at the FIGO World
