    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Instruments

    Context:

    • Operative vaginal delivery is a common obstetric procedure.
    • Forceps and vacuum extractors are established tools for assisted vaginal birth.
    • There is a need for instruments that are effective, safe, and easy to use.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce and describe the application and benefits of obstetric spoons.
    • To evaluate obstetric spoons as an alternative or adjunct to forceps and vacuum extractors.
    • To highlight the safety features and ease of use of this novel instrument.

    Summary:

    • Obstetric spoons are described as a new instrument for vaginal-operative termination of labor.
    • They are easy to apply, even for less skilled operators, and are effective and relatively harmless.
