Fetal Fibronectin (fFN) Units

The Foundation has supported the purchase of Fetal Fibronectin Units in hospitals across Australia. The Foundation funded the testing of these units and the subsequent supply to hospitals of the units. Detecting preterm labour in pregnancy can potentially save a baby’s life. Bonnie Babes currently saves the lives of hundreds of babies every year with this vital equipment.

A full description of the study from the department of Perinatal Medicine is published in the Australian and New Zealand journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in August 1995.
