Kaya Professional Birth Stool
Birth Supplies are delighted to be UK stockist of the Kaya Birth Stool.
The Kaya Stool is designed to support the most natural and physiologically effective positioning throughout labour and delivery. It encourages women to remain upright whilst giving them the opportunity to rest and change position as they see fit.
The Kaya Stool is moulded into organic compound curves to ergonomically and comfortably support the body. The nature of the curves help to relieve pressure on the perineum while seated in a squatting position. The firm plastic provides stability and resistance while gripping and pushing.
The Kaya Stool is fully portable & waterproof. It can be used at home or in hospital; on land, or can be fully submerged in the birth pool. In fact the Kaya Stool is the only birth stool that can be fully submerged in water.
The Kaya Stool's patented single part design is both stable and easy to clean & disinfect, easily meeting hospital standards for safety and infection control.
The double ridge design facilitates active participation and support of the birth partner.
