Use for vacuum assisted fetal delivery in conditions of failure to deliver spontaneously, prolonged second stage, presumed fetal jeopardy, or elective shortening.
Vacuum delivery as a trial for borderline fetopelvic relationships or mid-pelvic delivery with more than mild fetal jeopardy.
Contraindications include inadequate fetopelvic relationships, unengaged presenting part, non-vertex presentations, non-ruptured membranes, incomplete dilation.
Follow ACOG advice, abandon if no progress. Monitor conditions like low gestational age, scalp damage, or suspected macrosomia.
Fetal injuries include hematomas, hemorrhages, nerve injuries, jaundice, bruises, contusions, lacerations, fractures. Maternal injuries include soft tissue injuries, episiotomy extensions.
Use only by trained operators. Apply carefully. Never apply to face/ear or exceed limits.
The PalmPump controls vacuum safely and effectively, offering a simple hand pump with release valve, indicator, and ergonomic handle.
The ProCup is for outlet and low occiput anterior presentations, its flexible cup molds to the fetal head for increased contact.
ProCup is suitable for occipitoanterior positions with flexion point near the introitus, maneuverability is limited by the rigid stem.
ProCup is not suitable for midcavity occipitoposterior or deflexed occipitolateral positions due to flexion point location.
Perform vaginal exam, retract perineum, insert cup gently, and slightly rotate to unfold edges.
Maneuver cup to flexion point, check for trapped tissue/electrode, and initiate seal with initial vacuum.
Re-examine for trapped maternal tissue and reapply cup if necessary before proceeding.
Operator positions to assist descent. Raise vacuum to 450-600 mm Hg, press against dome, and monitor head descent.
Apply traction in pelvic axis, perpendicular to cup. Avoid side-to-side movements. Discontinue if hiss is heard.
First pull causes flexion/descent. Second pull should place head on pelvic floor. Third pull should complete or make delivery imminent.
Do not twist, torque, or use excessive force. Do not reapply if cup has popped-off two times.
Release vacuum with button after head delivery. Ease cup off scalp. Complete birth normally.
Examine baby's head for scalp injury and note cup application site. Reassure parents about chignon and marks.
Discard the device using the appropriate procedure after use.
