	* Ventouse - (Pregnancy & Parenting): Definition
		Ventouse is a suction cup that fits on the baby's head and is sometimes used instead of obstetric forceps.
		When ventouse is used, the baby may have a soft tissue swelling for a few days where the cup was.
		Interventions to extract the baby, whether forceps, caesarian or ventouse, lead both to a tendency to withdraw from the prospect of change and life opportunities, and an expectation of having to be rescued.

		This ventouse (or suction cap) is made of medical grade silicone (80 sores hardness) with a diameter of 55 mm.
		In the interior cap there are 8 embossments, 19 mm long and 1 mm high, to allow for air extraction between the ventouse and the baby’s head, ensuring good adherence and minimising traumatism to the scalp.
		These ventouses are made of medical grade silicone (60 sore hardness), have a connector inserted in the silicone to adapt it to the fast plug-in and a triangular ring to install a drag-chain.

		Midwife ventouse practitioners are available to help if a mother is tiring at the end of labour, and/or if a baby’s heart rate is giving cause for concern in labour.

		This initiative was one of the first in the country, and MVPs from the West Wiltshire PCT have written articles in national journals and contributed to textbooks on the subject of midwife ventouse delivery.

		In a nutshell, ventouse is a kinder process: the suction cap means that although a bit of help can be given, strong force (of the foot-on-the-table variety) is nigh-on impossible.
		For the mother, the pros of ventouse over forceps are very good: usually there’s no need for an episiotomy, as the cup is so small that it can be easily inserted into the vagina, and the risk of tearing or bruising as a result of using the instrument is not high.
		Between one in six and one in ten attempts at ventouse delivery don’t work out, but it’s not thought wise to move on to forceps and the next step is usually a Caesarean.
