Clinical Application
Designed for use in operative vaginal delivery, this extractor provides obstetric teams with a tool for applying controlled manual traction to the fetal head during the second stage of labor when assisted delivery is indicated. It is intended to aid delivery in situations such as prolonged second stage, maternal exhaustion, or other clinically justified indications where careful traction can facilitate a safe vaginal delivery. Use requires appropriate clinical assessment, training in operative vaginal techniques, and adherence to local obstetric guidelines.
Design & Configuration
The 26 cm overall length balances reach within the birth canal and operator control at the perineum, allowing tactile feedback during traction. The handheld configuration is arranged to permit a secure grip and controlled, incremental force application. These geometric considerations support precise alignment and minimized maternal soft-tissue trauma when used appropriately by trained personnel.
