The
Kiwi® vacuum assisted fetal
delivery device is an integral unit designed for complete
control without an assistant. The PalmPump™
provides a safe and effective vacuum system in the palm of your
hand. The Kiwi system has been designed with two different
style cups: The ProCup®
for normal low occiput anterior and outlet procedures, and the OmniCup®
for low occiput posterior asynclitic and lateral fetal
malpositions.
The
Omni-C™ Cup is designed specifically for cesarean section deliveries and the confined space of the lower uterine segment.
The
Omni-C Cup’s low profile facilities ease of insertion, decreases the likelihood for traumatic or deliberate extensions of the uterine incision, and provides the highest degree of maneuverability within the confined space of the lower uterine segment.
The
Kiwi OmniCup features a low profile and stem-free traction
mechanism that make it possible to place the cup safely and
correctly over the flexion point of the fetal head (3cm forward
of posterior fontanelle).
When
the OmniCup is properly placed and traction is exerted in line
with the pelvic axis, malpositions of the fetal head can be
corrected so that the optimal diameters present to the birth
canal and autorotation can occur naturally.
The
Kiwi with Traction Force Indicator is designed to measure the
force exerted during traction. It allows the operator to
correlate tactile sensation of traction force with a visual
scale, which is especially valuable for training purposes.
The
PalmPump puts complete control in the hands of a single
operator and frees up delivery room personnel. The PalmPump's
integral design provides a simple hand vacuum pump, thumb or
finger activated vacuum release valve, and an accurate vacuum
indicator gauge all in an ergonomic handle.
The
Kiwi ProCup is designed for use with low occiput anterior and
outlet presentations. The soft flexible cup expands and molds to
the fetal head which safely increases cup contact area and
vacuum hold.
