The cup applies a suction seal to the fetus after pumping of the suction pump by the physician. Then the physician pulls the fetus from the mother by using the Kiwi device. This technique decreases the incision size, which is reduced to the size of the head of the fetus, thus decreasing blood loss and recovery time.\n\n== Designed by ==\n\n* Designed by: Clinical Innovations\n* Distribution: It is currently being distributed world-wide.\n\n== References ==\n\n=== Internally generated reports ===\n\nClinical Innovations - Kiwi Vacuum Delivery System.
