An obstetric delivery device for Caesarian section is a suction cup for a vacuum extractor and comprises a cup member (1) and a neck portion (2), wherein the suction member has a suction opening (10) intended to be applied to a baby's head prior to delivery and an evacuation opening (11) being connected with an evacuation channel (20) extending through the neck portion (2), wherein the neck portion (2) comprises a handle (3) in the shape of a circumferential flange. This device does not affect the size or position of the skin or uterine incisions. It allows a gentle delivery of the fetal head withoud the need of forceps. It is flexible and atraumatic, with no damage to the mother or the baby. Furthermore it is small and light and easier than forceps to maneuver into position at Caesarion sections. The technique can be easily mastered and is intuitive. Last but not least it allows a fetal head delivery without delay.
