Brief Summary
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Materna Prep Device in reducing pelvic muscle injuries during vaginal delivery. Subjects are randomized to Materna Prep Device or Standard of Care without use of the Materna Prep Device Intervention with the Materna Prep Device is expected to be a one-time use of approximately 30-90 minutes during the 1st stage of labor. Subject participation in the study is targeted to be 3 months from the time of the use of the device during delivery with optional long-term follow-up.

- Subject has a collagen-associated disorder that affects tissue elasticity, such as scleroderma or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
- Subject has a localized (genital tract) or systemic infection.
- Subject has a medical history which could lead to pelvic floor dysfunction, such as prior pelvic fractures, pelvic soft tissue injuries, or vaginal surgery.
- Subject has any general health condition or systemic disease that may represent, in the opinion of the Investigator, a potential increased risk associated with device use or pregnancy.
