Odon device
Odón device is a medical device that assists during a difficult birth. The low-cost device consists of a plastic sleeve that is inflated around the baby's head and is used to gently pull and ease the head of the infant through the birth canal.〔McNeil, Donald G, Jr. ("Car Mechanic Dreams Up a Tool to Ease Births" ), ''The New York Times'', November 13, 2013. Accessed November 14, 2013.〕

Worldwide, more than 13 million births each year face serious complications, and every day about 800 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth (about 300,000 annually). The use of forceps and other mechanical devices in the extraction of a baby in a difficult delivery can cause internal bleeding in the mother or may result in injuries to the baby's head or spine.
The Odón Device has the potential to allow for vaginal delivery in complicated pregnancies in which common medical practice would have led to a cesarean section, the use of forceps to extract the newborn or the use of a ventouse vacuum device that attaches suction cups directly to the baby's scalp.〔 By reducing contact between the baby's skull and the birth canal, the risk of infection is also reduced.〔
