ABSTRACT:
An obstetrical instrument for rupturing an amniotic membrane for release of amniotic fluid within the membrane to facilitate the birth of a baby contained therein. The device includes a surgical glove. A hook member is bonded to the side of the long finger member, next to the index finger member and in the distal portion. The hook member has a hook on one end and is bonded at a single point at the other end to the glove. In the normal condition, the hook member is wholly contained between the two fingers. To extend the hook member for rupturing, the index finger rotates the hook member a short distance to expose the hook below the palm portions of the fingers.
