Question Title: Assistance during delivery

Forum: The Maternal and Child Health Forum
Topic: Pregnancy - Normal

Have heard of a different tool used in deliveries. A net (sort of like a chinese finger trap) used to assist in deliveries instead of forceps or vacuum. Cannot find any info on this new product. Would like to update Ob-Gyn on it.

Dear SS:

I have no information on a "net-like device" to assist delivery. Sorry.
