Labor, First Stage Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Dianatal Obstetric Gel (Cross-linked Polyacrylic Acid) on Outcomes in Vaginal Delivery
Perineal massage at the end of labor stage 2 has been investigated in 2 randomized
controlled trials using a water soluble lubricant. In one trial a significant reduction of
labor stage 2 has been found, both trials did not show a significant increase of perineum
integrity.
In the HCB Swiss Study both a significant reduction of labor stage 2 by 30 % as well as a
significant increase of perineal integrity have been shown. No adverse events have been
reported.

nulliparous women: a randomized controlled trial on labor facilitation. Schaub AF, Litschgi

Today's practice- Lubricants are widely used to enable manual vaginal examination during
labor. In Israel midwifes are using Almond Oil for perineal massage at the end of labor
stage 2 to protect the perineum. It has been shown for the first time that the use of the
Dianatal Obstetric Gel facilitates vaginal childbirth in humans. Dianatal has been
introduced to the EU markets in 2008.
