Abstract: An intravaginal device for cervical ripening comprising an inflatable portion and a tube in fluid communication with the inflatable portion. The inflatable portion is configurable between a deflated and an inflated state, and the inflatable portion is configured to be inserted into a vagina when in the deflated state and to ripen a cervix when inflated with fluid. The tube is configurable between an extended state and a retracted state. In the extended state, the tube is configured to be located at least in part outside the vagina to deliver fluid to inflate the inflatable portion. In the retracted state, the tube is configured to be located within the vagina.

Abstract: A fetus delivery assisting device (10) for assisting with the birth of a fetus. The device (10) comprises a shaft (16). At one end of the shaft (16) is a rigid base (18) to which an inflatable balloon (12) is mounted. The rigid base (18) and the inflatable balloon (12) are configured to accept a fetal head. The inflatable balloon (12) is configured to displace the fetal head from a pelvic cavity when inflated. The shaft (16) is configured for manipulating the inflatable balloon (12) to displace the fetal head from the pelvic cavity.

Abstract: Surgical device to allow an easy delivery of the fetus during a Cesarean Section when fetal head is deeply wedged in the female pelvic cavity. The device consists of inflatable portion to lift the fetal head attached to foldable base plate that can be folded with the inflatable portion for insertion of the device into the female vagina below the fetal head. The inflatable portion is inflated by injecting biocompatible fluid by pressurizing device such as syringe, pressure bag, hand pump or powdered pump. The device can also be of use in other situations like abdominal delivery of a premature or small baby and when cord prolapse has occurred.

Abstract: A method to allow an easy delivery of a fetus during a Cesarean Section when the fetal head is deeply wedged in the female pelvic cavity using a unique surgical device. The device consists of inflatable portion to lift the fetal head, the inflatable portion being attached to a foldable base plate that can be folded along with the inflatable portion for insertion of the device into the female vagina below the fetal head. The inflatable portion is inflated by injecting a biocompatible fluid with a pressurizing device such as a syringe, pressure bag, hand pump or powered pump. The device may also be utilized in other situations like abdominal delivery of a premature or small baby and when cord prolapse has occurred.
