| 摘要 |
The digital amnitome described herein is a generally hollow, cylindrical finger-like device closed at one end adapted to be placed on and operated by a finger for rupturing the amniotic membrane during obstetrical procedures. The cylindrical device is adapted to extend over the second finger joint and preferably is formed of a plastic material that is stiffly flexible to aid in the flexure of the first finger joint which operates the device. Adjacent the closed end of the cylindrical device there is a resilient recessed portion in one wall having a sharp tipped, hook-like element secured thereto. When the fingertip is flexed, the resilient portion and sharp tipped element, which are normally in a retracted position, are extended radially to expose the sharp tip and permit its use in rupturing of the amniotic membrane.
