The Case for CaesAid Vacuum Delivery Cups vs Forceps

Did you know

The fetal head at a Caesarean delivery is usually delivered through a generous skin incision and fundal pressure. Research suggests that:

Skin incision over 15 cm may cause ilioinguinal nerve damage.
Uterine incisions – head delivery intervals of > 90 sec. may result in fetal hypoxia.*

In a recent study* de Jong and Stolwijk evaluated the CaesAid vacuum cup, together with Medela´s electronic vacuum pump, on maternal and fetal outcomes in comparsion to the use of forceps at caesarean delivery. The objective was to assess whether the CaesAid vacuum cup shortens the incision-delivery interval vs. forceps and document any perioperative complications for mother and neonate.

The results of the study suggest that the CaesAid vacuum cup is a safe and efficient alternative to forceps to deliver the fetal head at the caesarean section.
