Vacuum Extractors...

DHS offer a complete range of vacuum extraction instruments.
Our range of vacuum extractors are designed for use with suitable electric pumps providing the operator with a wide choice of instrument that suit both the presentation of the foetus and also the operator`s own technique. The constant and controlled vacuum source provides for a time-delay with audible warning of an impending cup detachment. Thus, even in the hands of a lesser experienced operator the outcome can be positive.

DHS offer the complete range of Medela™ (formerly Menox™) autoclavable and single-use vacuum cups for use with our electric vacuum pump range..
All DHS vacuum extraction instruments may also be used with one of our range of hand pumps.
