The Kiwi Omnicup is a single-use, autonomous assisted fetal delivery device. The Omnicup is built in plastic with a traction handle that can be used as a vacuum pump, offering a vacuum delivery system that does not require an engine. The Omnicup holds potential for preventing prolonged and obstructed labor. Its single-use design is appropriate for areas without sterilization capability, offering an alternative to the standard metal and silastic cups. The disposable device is $26. A study of 1,000 vacuum-assisted deliveries using the Omnicup concluded that the Omnicup is an effective vacuum device for cases in which assisted vaginal delivery is indicated. The Kiwi Omnicup is available through Clinical Innovations of Murray, Utah.
