- Vacuum extractors, or ventouses, are tools used during childbirth to assist with fetal delivery and are generally safe if used correctly.
- Using the extractor in the wrong position can lead to serious complications, such as cranial vault fractures and subgaleal hematomas, which can result in perinatal death.
