Tydeman® Tube
Aiding in the Delivery of the Impacted Fetal Head at Caesarean Section. Impacted Fetal Head (IFH) is a known complication observed at caesarean section. The Tydeman Tube assists in these deliveries by providing a means of elevation of the fetal head, and of relief of the suction effect that can occur as the head is disimpacted.
Tydeman Tube Features and Benefits
- Tydeman Tube can be inserted when IFH is suspected, or when encountered during the caesarean section.
- The soft, silicone cup is positioned against the fetal head. If a push up is initiated, the applied force is spread over a larger area versus the manual push technique.
Tydeman Tube Features and Benefits
- A hollow tube runs through the handle. As the head is delivered, air enters below, reducing any suction effect; in some cases, this may be sufficient to aid delivery, without a push up being required.
Tydeman Tube Features and Benefits
- The degree and direction of push required can be adjusted by the user, under the guidance of the operating surgeon.
