Measure
Control
Conventional retractions (ie Rich retractors and similar) used in the usual fashion during the cesarean procedure.
Mobius
Subjects underwent cesarean delivery and the Mobius self-retaining retractor was used as the primary method of retraction during hysterotomy, delivery of infant, hysterotomy repair as well as inspection and irrigation. Other conventional retraction was used for the remainder of the procedure as needed. Decision to abandon use of the Mobius was at the discretion of the primary surgeon.

Standard Deviation 3.0
6.3 cm
Standard Deviation 2.9

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 days post-operation

Visual analog scale will be used to assess pain on the right or left side of the body with activity.VAS will use a 0-7.5cm range on the right and 0-7.5cm range on the left. This scale is with 0 (or central mark) as no pain and increasing as the subject marks away from the central mark.
