Aspen Surgical 9601 AmniHook Aminiotic Membrane Perforator

This simple yet effective tool is commonly employed by obstetricians and midwives to induce or expedite labor in a safe and controlled manner. The AmniHook is designed for ease of use, comfort, and precision, ensuring optimal outcomes for both the patient and the healthcare provider during delivery.

Key Features:

Effective and Controlled Amniotic Sac Rupture: The Aspen Surgical AmniHook is specifically designed to safely and effectively perforate the amniotic sac (also known as the bag of waters) during childbirth. Its design allows for a controlled rupture, helping to initiate or accelerate labor when medically necessary. The tool is frequently used to assist with labor induction or to speed up labor progression once dilation has occurred.

Long Handle for Optimal Control: The AmniHook features an extended handle that provides excellent control and maneuverability for healthcare providers. This long handle allows for precise placement of the hook at the correct location on the amniotic sac, minimizing the risk of unintentional injury to the mother or fetus. The ergonomic design enhances the ease of use, giving clinicians confidence in the application.

Blunt, Protected Tip for Safety: Patient safety is a top priority, and the AmniHook is designed with a blunt, rounded tip to ensure that the amniotic sac is punctured without causing harm to the fetus or the maternal tissues. The gentle hook at the end of the instrument allows for an effective perforation of the membrane without excessive force, reducing the risk of complications during the procedure.

Sterile, Single-Use Design: The Aspen Surgical 9601 AmniHook is a sterile, single-use device, ensuring that it is free from contaminants prior to use. This disposable design helps prevent infections and cross-contamination between patients. After use, the AmniHook can be safely discarded, making it a hygienic and convenient option for healthcare settings.

Lightweight and Easy to Handle: The AmniHook is lightweight and ergonomically designed for ease of handling by obstetricians, midwives, and other healthcare providers. Its streamlined construction reduces hand fatigue and enhances precision during the procedure, making it a reliable tool in labor and delivery settings.

Cost-Effective and Readily Available: As a cost-effective solution for amniotic membrane rupture, the Aspen Surgical AmniHook offers high value to medical facilities. It is widely used in hospitals, clinics, and birthing centers for its affordability, reliability, and ease of use. The single-use nature of the product ensures that it is always sterile and ready for immediate use when needed.

Clear Visualization and Tactile Feedback: The AmniHook is designed to provide clear visualization of the membrane during use, while the long handle allows for tactile feedback. This ensures that the clinician can feel the precise moment of membrane perforation, enabling a safe and efficient rupture of the amniotic sac.

Applications:

Rupture of amniotic sac to induce labor (artificial rupture of membranes or AROM)
Facilitating labor progression in patients with stalled or slow labor
Use in both hospital labor and delivery units and birthing centers
Assisting in safe and controlled childbirth procedures
