Summary

This is an unblinded, randomized control trial of obese women to evaluate the impact of the Traxi Panniculus Retractor (TPR) on the cesarean operative time and surgical blood loss when compared to silk tape.

Detailed description

The purpose of the study is to assess whether using the Traxi Panniculus Retractor during cesarean section, in obese (BMI greater than or equal to 30kg/m2 at time of delivery) women, can decrease the cesarean operative time compared to using silk tape to retract the panniculus. Operative time is defined as the time from when the patient lies on the operating room table (at completion of the epidural/spinal anesthesia) until fascial closure.
