Abstract
This poster presentation aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a new cooling device (gel pad) with a standard regimen (ice pack) and compare these with no localised treatment regimen (control). 450 women partipcated in this study at St James's University Hospital and their own homes. The trial confirmed earlier findings to support the use of a specially designed cooling gel pad (Feme pad)to alleviate perineal trauma.
