The Odón Device is an instrument to deliver the fetus when complications occur during the second stage of labour. The device is made of film-like polyethylene material and may be potentially safer and easier to apply than forceps and vacuum extractor (contraindicated in cases of HIV infection) for assisted deliveries. By reducing contacts between the baby’s head and the birth channel, the device could prevent infections acquired during delivery. The device has potential for wide application in resource poor settings even by mid-level providers. Noting this progress and the potential for the device.
