Vacuum Extractors Manufacturers

There are two types of vacuum extractors, based on the type of cup used for application to the fetal head. Each type has three parts: a cup, a rubber hose, and a vacuum pump. Malmstrom vacuum extractor consists of a metal cup that is applied to the fetal scalp. The pump is then used to create a vacuum, not exceeding 0.7 to 0.8 kg/cm2. traction is then applied to bring the infant’s head through the introitus. Plastic cup extractor is more widely used, that consists of a flexible silastic cup that is applied to the fetal scalp more easily and with less trauma than the malmstrom extractor. The vacuum pressures attained are about the same, but these can be reached more quickly and with fewer traumas to the fetal scalp.
