The childbirth-assisting device uses an automatically synchronized expandable pneumatic girdle to externally augment the secondary force of labor. The pneumatic girdle is fitted around the abdomen of the woman and the girdle is inflated to create a downward pressure on the abdomen when a contraction occurs. The synchronization of the girdle's inflation and the contractions is provided by an electronic controller which receives a signal from an intra-uterine monitor indicating a contraction and causes the girdle to inflate at a certain rate until a preset intra-uterine pressure is attained. Once the intra-uterine pressure reaches the pre-set pressure, the girdle pressure is maintained until the offset of the contraction is detected, at which time the girdle is deflated.

Ce dispositif d'assistance à l'accouchement comprend une ceinture pneumatique gonflable, automatiquement synchronisée servant à accroître de manière externe la force des contractions lors de la seconde période du travail. La ceinture pneumatique est placée autour de l'abdomen de la femme et gonflée de façon à créer une pression descendante sur l'abdomen lorsqu'une contraction se produit. La synchronisation de la dilatation de la ceinture et des contractions est effectuée par un contrôleur électronique que reçoit un signal à partir d'un dispositif de surveillance intra-utérin indiquant une contraction et qui entraîne la dilatation de la ceinture à un certain niveau jusqu'à ce qu'une pression intra-utérine préconsignée soit atteinte. Une fois que la pression intra-utérine atteint la pression préconsignée, la pression de la ceinture est maintenue jusqu'à ce que la fin de la contraction soit détectée, après quoi la ceinture est dégonflée.
