Murless Head Extractor for Lower Caesarean Sections - 26 cm (10 1/4")
Constructed of surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Murless Head Extractor is designed for safe and effective fetal head extraction during lower segment Caesarean sections (LSCS). The ergonomic curved frame and smooth traction handle allow for controlled delivery of the fetal head, increasing safety for both the mother and baby. Unlike traditional forceps, the Murless Head Extractor provides even pressure distribution, reducing the risk of fetal skull compression while ensuring a gentle and guided extraction.
- Curved, Contoured Frame for Secure Fetal Head Engagement: Designed to conform to the fetal skull, ensuring a stable yet gentle grip while minimizing pressure-related injuries.
- Ergonomic Handle for Controlled Extraction: Enhances grip and maneuverability, allowing for precise fetal head retrieval during Caesarean delivery.
- Atraumatic Design for Maternal and Fetal Safety: The smooth frame and even pressure distribution reduce the risk of scalp abrasions, soft tissue damage, and excessive fetal head molding.
- Optimized Positioning for Safe and Efficient Use: The adjustable placement allows surgeons to engage the fetal head effectively, enhancing control during delivery.
Applications:
- Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) Deliveries: Designed specifically for assisting in fetal head extraction during Caesarean births.
- Difficult Deliveries with Engaged Fetal Head: Provides enhanced control when the fetal head is deeply engaged in the pelvis, aiding in a safer and smoother delivery.
- Preventing Excessive Maternal Trauma: Reduces unnecessary uterine extension and trauma that may occur with manual head extraction.
- Minimizing Fetal Skull Compression: Ensures even distribution of traction, lowering the risk of pressure-induced fetal head injuries.
The Murless Head Extractor was developed as a safer alternative to forceps for Caesarean section head extractions, particularly when the fetal head is deeply engaged. It has become a widely used obstetric tool, especially in cases where manual extraction poses risks. It may also be referred to as a Murless Obstetric Head Extractor.
