Investigating the Effects of Different Sizes of Silicone Rubber Vacuum Extractors during the Course of Delivery on the Fetal Head: A Finite Element Analysis Study

During certain clinical situations, some parturients require instruments for operative vaginal delivery, and various designs of vacuum extractors may affect the fetal head. To investigate the biomechanical effects of divergent sizes of silicone rubber vacuum extractors, we employed finite element an...
