Abstract

In various embodiments, an obstetrical device 10 is provided for assisting a cesarean section delivery of a neonate having a fetal presenting part well seated within the mother's pelvis. Generally, the device 10 comprises a tubular tail 22 having an internal lumen 30 and a hollow head 26 extending from a distal end 58 of the tail 22 and having an internal chamber 34 fluidly connected to the lumen 30. The head 26 includes at least one aperture 38 extending through an exterior wall. The device 10 is operable to position the head 26 near or in contact with the fetal presenting part to provide air into an area near and / or between contact surfaces 62 of the fetal presenting part and a vagina 14 and / or a cervix 18 of the mother.; Providing the air will reduce or release a suction formed between the contact surfaces 62 such that the well seated fetal presenting part can be easily separated from the vagina 14 and / or the cervix 18.
