Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) is an obstetric emergency that can occur up to 24 hours after vaginal birth or cesarean section.
In most cases, the uncontrolled bleeding is due to a lack of sufficient contraction of the uterus (hypotonia) and appears immediately after birth.
The purpose of this prospective, non-randomized, feasibility pilot study is to obtain information on the safety and effectiveness of an investigational new medical device - Alma System, that is intended to provide control and treatment of abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding or hemorrhage when conservative management is warranted.

| Alma system | Device | Subjects diagnosed with postpartum hemorrhage will receive the Alma System. This system comprises a soft silicone cylindrical device placed within the uterus. Gentle suction is applied, prompting the uterus to contract and reduce in size. This contraction compresses the blood vessels, halting the bleeding. |

|---|---|---|
| Rate of Related SAEs | Rate of device related SAEs up to six weeks following device treatment. | 6 weeks |
| Rate of Damage to Cervix, Uterus or Vagina | Rate of any observable damage to cervix, uterus or vagina during or immediately after device procedure | When removing the Alma System at the end of the procedure |
