ABSTRACT:
An obstetric device for the tractive delivery of a fetus is disclosed. The delivery device comprises a tractive net which includes a set of spaced apart, elongated and pliant structural ribs. A pattern of threads forming a mesh is carried and supported by and between the ribs. The net is designed to be introduced into the birth canal in a folded condition, opened to surround the circumference of the fetal head, or calvarium, and then fixed in position. A simple fastening mechanism is carried on two end ribs to close the net. The now tubular-shaped net can be firmly grasped at one end and pulled to tractively orient and/or deliver the fetus. The threads composing the net are specifically designed to tear or rupture at a predetermined limiting or maximum tension, so as to prevent injury to the fetus in the event that excessive pulling force is used.
