Applications
-
-
- Assisted vaginal delivery for prolonged second stage of labor (uterine inertia).
- Fetal distress requiring urgent delivery.
- Maternal contraindications to Valsalva maneuver (e.g., heart disease, severe hypertension).
- Occiput anterior/transverse/posterior positions; outlet/low/mid-cavity deliveries.
- Reduces cesarean section rate and perineal trauma risk.

Full Product Description
The Disposable Fetal Head Suction Device is a sterile, single-use obstetric instrument designed to assist vaginal delivery by applying controlled negative pressure to the fetal scalp. It replaces traditional metal reusable devices, ensuring maximum safety and hygiene.
The device consists of a vacuum pump handle with a pressure indicator and release button, a soft silicone suction cup, and a flexible connecting tube. The mushroom-shaped cup conforms gently to the fetal head, while the integrated pump allows precise vacuum regulation (40–60kPa). The flexible tube with embedded steel cables enables secure traction at multiple angles.
Manufactured from medical-grade materials and sterilized with ethylene oxide, it is intended for one-time use only to prevent infections. Widely used in hospitals and birthing centers, it effectively shortens labor duration, reduces cesarean rates, and enhances safety for both mother and fetus.
Storage & Warning
Storage Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area; avoid moisture, high temperature, and direct sunlight.
Warning
-
- For professional obstetric use only; must be operated by trained medical personnel.
- Single use only; reuse is strictly prohibited.
- Do not use if packaging is damaged, opened, or expired.
- Vacuum pressure must not exceed 60kPa to avoid fetal scalp injury.
- Keep out of reach of children.
