"The Odon Device is made of film-like polyethylene material that can help facilitate the birth process and may provide a safer alternative than forceps and vacuum extractor for assisted deliveries. Moreover, in settings with limited surgical capacity and human resource constraints, it may be a safe alternative to some Caesarean sections since it could be used by mid-level providers or in facilities lacking the surgical capabilities for Caesarean section."
