Usoro 

The woman is placed in the lithotomy position and assists throughout the process by pushing. A suction cup is placed onto the head of the baby and the suction draws the skin from the scalp into the cup. Correct placement of the cup directly over the flexion point, about centimita at antirior from the osipital (postirior) fontanelle, is critical to the success of a vacuum extraction. Ventouse devices have handles to allow for traction.  When the baby's head is delivered, the device is detached, allowing the birthing attendant and the mother to complete the delivery of the baby.
