Selection of the apposite vacuum extractor during operative delivery: A biomechanical study
A thinner vacuum extractor cup may result in greater injury to the fetus; hence, a thicker vacuum extractor cup is preferably utilized during vacuum-assisted operative delivery. Using a thicker vacuum extractor should yield a higher successful delivery rate and reduce fetal injury.
