摘要
Shoulder dystocia occurs most frequently during the birth of large infants, where the shoulders remain impacted, and lateral traction on the fetal neck with evulsion of the brachial plexus may cause brachial plexus injury. The idea is to prevent excessive lateral bending of the infant's head, its ensuing stress, and damage to the brachial nerve bundle. This invention consists of a special head brace, which limits the lateral movement of the baby's head with respect to the clavicle, and can be quickly mounted when required by the specific medical situation. Its design in two sections provides a snug fit, regardless of the infant's head size, and permits its installation in the little time available to complete the birth process.
