| Vacuum Extractors and Vacuum Extraction A vacuum extractor is an alternative to forceps in assisting the delivery of a baby. It is a suction cup that is placed over a baby's head, which allows the physician to pull the child out through the birth canal. A vacuum extractor is easier to attach than forceps and is less likely to injure the baby or mother than forceps.
