Credo S Method

Credo's Method

Credo's Method is a method of removing the placenta from the uterus. During contraction of the uterus, the doctor presses the abdominal wall from top to bottom, towards the birth canal. This method has now been largely replaced by the Brandt Andrews method.



The Credo Method, also known as the Credo S Method, is one of the methods for removing the placenta after childbirth. This method was developed in Sweden and named after its inventor, Dr. Carl Crede.

The Crede method involves the doctor pressing the uterus from top to bottom, while the placenta is pushed out through the birth canal. This occurs due to the fact that the uterus contracts during childbirth and the placenta comes out of it.

However, the Crede method is not the most effective and safe method for removing the placenta. Currently, it is significantly inferior to the Brandt-Andrews method, which is more effective and safe.

However, the Crede method is still used in some countries, especially in developing regions of the world where access to more modern methods may be limited. Also, this method can be used as an alternative to the Brandt-Andrews method if the latter cannot be applied for some reason.

In any case, the choice of placenta extraction method should be based on the individual characteristics of each woman and her state of health. Therefore, before choosing a method, you should consult your doctor.



The Crede method is a method that allows you to remove the placenta without cutting the uterine wall. The placenta is removed by applying light pressure with the palm of the hand to the fundus of the uterus. As a result, all remnants of the placenta and membrane are removed. This method is not the main one, but an auxiliary one among all known methods of giving birth to a child. The Crede method is also used for abnormalities in the attachment of the placental formation to the uterine wall. Removal of the placenta using this method is carried out without the use of a scalpel, which ensures the lowest risk of infection of the uterus. Bleeding and the rate of wound healing when using the Crede method are significantly reduced, which completely eliminates possible
