Surgical Suction Cup for Obstetrical Use

For obstetrical use, particularly in vacuum-assisted deliveries, surgical suction cups are essential for providing gentle yet effective traction to aid in the delivery process. Here’s a quick overview of the differences and appropriate contexts for using 60mm versus 70mm suction cups:

1. 60mm Suction Cup:

• Use: Typically used in cases where a smaller application area is preferable, such as for smaller fetal head sizes or when precise suction is necessary.
• Advantages: Easier to control and may be preferred in complex or delicate delivery situations where a more focused suction area is beneficial.
• Common Uses: Effective in vacuum-assisted deliveries where the baby's position or size requires a more controlled approach.

2. 70mm Suction Cup:

• Use: Suitable for larger fetal heads or when more surface area is needed to create a stable vacuum.
• Advantages: Provides a stronger hold due to the larger surface area, which may aid in smoother, quicker deliveries.
• Common Uses: Often preferred for standard vacuum-assisted deliveries where additional traction is required.
