Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. We focus on two innovations by Indian gynecologists, the Panicker’s vacuum suction cannula and the SR suction cannula. These effective devices are economical and easy-to-use, and help prevent and manage PPH. They can also be used to reduce bleeding in non-PPH indications. These Indian innovations are a matter of pride, and need to be studied extensively in diverse settings. This will help ensure that their benefits can be shared across the world.
