Smooth and gentle delivery with the Medela VAD solution

Vacuum assisted delivery is used to aid birth when labor has become prolonged and the mother is experiencing extreme stress and difficulties. Vacuum delivery helps guide the baby out of the birth canal more rapidly. An alternative to a forceps delivery, vacuum birth can help avoid injury to the baby or a cesarean section.

During a vacuum assisted delivery, the soft suction cup of the vacuum is applied to the baby's head, and the vacuum helps guide the baby out of the birth canal. Advanced vacuum delivery systems support gentle, smooth delivery and allow obstetricians to execute safe, individualized interventions.

  • Medela offers a  complete system that includes a surgical suction pump with all the necessary components and a large choice of suction cups.
  • The goal is to support the mother and ensure that delivery of the baby can take place in a gentle and controlled manner.
  • The Medela VAD system provides rapid vacuum-build up in seconds and quick set-up thanks to compatible parts.
