An obstetrical instrument includes an elongated handle and a fetal head support portion coupled with a distal end of the elongated handle.

A phoetal (i.e., fetal) extraction device including a frame configured to hold a biobag for receiving a baby, the frame having a distal end for insertion into a vagina, a longitudinal axis aligned with a insertion direction, and a radial direction. The frame includes frame members having distal end configured for insertion and proximal ends attached to a connecting element. The frame members extend away from the connecting elements and are circumferentially spaced apart around the longitudinal axis. The frame members are expandable in the radial direction such that a radial position of radial orientation of the frame members is adjustable relative to the connecting element. A kit of parts including at least the frame and the biobag.

A subaxillary traction device having an elongated body portion with a first end and a second end, at least one receptacle member disposed on the first end defining a cavity to receive a fingertip, a handle opening disposed adjacent or near the first end and a handle opening disposed adjacent or near the second end, the handle openings being of sufficient size to receive at least one finger there through, whereby the body portion is positionable under the posterior axilla of a fetus experiencing shoulder dystocia such that traction may be applied allowing delivery of the posterior aim affecting the safe delivery of the baby.

A subaxillary traction device having an elongated body portion with a first end and a second end, at least one receptacle member disposed on the first end defining a cavity to receive a fingertip, a handle opening disposed adjacent or near the first end and a handle opening disposed adjacent or near the second end, the handle openings being of sufficient size to receive at least one finger there through, whereby the body portion is positionable under the posterior axilla of a fetus experiencing shoulder dystocia such that traction may be applied allowing delivery of the posterior arm affecting the safe delivery of the baby.

There is provided an apparatus for extraction of at least one object from a cavity. The apparatus includes a sleeve including an inflatable section configured to surround the at least one object during inflation; a handle configured to enable a user to hold the sleeve, the handle defining a holding edge of an opening at a first portion of the sleeve; and a handle-mount mounted to a peripheral area around the opening, the handle-mount being for attachment of a pump used for inflating the inflatable section. There is also provided a pressure limitation apparatus configured to operate with a birth assistance device when attached via a conduit.

A surgical device for treating shoulder dystocia having a first arm having a proximal portion, a distal portion and a first curved surface, a second arm having a proximal portion, a distal portion and a second curved surface and a shoulder engagement section positioned at least between the distal portion of the first and second arms and connecting the first and second arms. The engagement section has an atraumatic surface and is configured to contact and press down on the baby to reposition the baby upon manipulation of the first and second arms.

A fetus delivery assisting device (10) for assisting with the birth of a fetus. The device (10) comprises a shaft (16). At one end of the shaft (16) is a rigid base (18) to which an inflatable balloon (12) is mounted. The rigid base (18) and the inflatable balloon (12) are configured to accept a fetal head. The inflatable balloon (12) is configured to displace the fetal head from a pelvic cavity when inflated. The shaft (16) is configured for manipulating the inflatable balloon (12) to displace the fetal head from the pelvic cavity.

A device to extract elements contained in cavities that uses a bag for their extraction that folds onto itself and an applier provided with an air chamber, which bag has pockets into which tentacles of the applier are introduced; and that is provided with means to pull from same; an applier that is comprised by a first piece called outer tube, that is hollow and of rigid material which, at its distal end, turns into at least two tentacles that allow its radial flexibility, and in its proximal end, means are provided to fix the second piece, called inner tube, which is a hollow tube, open at its ends, that slides into the body of the outer tube and that provides a funnel at its distal end. The device may have grade scale either on the tentacles, the inner tube as well as on the bag. Additionally, this provides two rings used as reference, on each of the folds of the bag.

An obstetric apparatus and method for repositioning a fetal head within the birth canal of a woman in labor. A user, typically an obstetrician, surgeon or similarly trained medical personnel, can efficiently and safely engage a fetal head that is wedged in the parturient woman's pelvis and lift it up in the birth canal towards the uterus, for safe delivery of the baby via C-section. The apparatus comprises an elongated and substantially rigid shaft, a pivoting neck and a soft engaging portion that includes a flexible outer cup and an inflatable inner cup for engaging the fetal head. The inventive apparatus and method can provide a mechanical advantage for repositioning the head of the fetus, and can provide assistance for C-section delivery in order to minimize maternal and neonatal complications.

A regulator diameter device to extract an element that is inside a cavity, which is introduced together with a flexible sleeve and an applicator, which comprises an adjustment strip of flexible material; and at least of a mean to regulate said diameter, with the adjustment strip open. The means to regulate such strip: a hollow case with a distal end and a proximal end, fixed to one of the traction handles, at least one string passes through this case, in which the distal ends of the at least one string, are fixed to the open ends of the adjustment strip, while the proximal ends of the string are fixed to a pulling system. The method of use of regulator diameter device to extract an element that is inside a cavity comprises the following steps: a. Introduce the combination (regulator device and the applicator) inside the cavity until the applicators' cup makes its first contact with the element to be extracted; b) go on pushing the combination which will open the distal ends of the applicator tentacles; c) once the mayor area of the element to be extracted is passed a first regulation of the adjustment strip is done, pulling the trigger and blocking it in this new position; d) keep on pushing until the final insertion; e) regulate again the adjustment strip until its final measure, being able to measure the diameter of the element to be extracted, which can be read in the pulling system scale; f) inflate the air chamber if the device has one; g) remove the applicator; h) pull the traction handles to extract the element that is inside the cavity.
