WASHINGTON, UK (24 July, 2024) – Rocket Medical Plc. and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust are pleased to confirm the launch of the Tydeman® Tube, an innovative medical device that is used to aid in the delivery of the impacted fetal head at caesarean section. The device was invented by NHS Fife consultant obstetrician Dr Graham Tydeman, with the aim of improving outcomes for patients and babies. Impacted fetal head at caesarean section is a serious and challenging situation which has been encountered by the large majority of obstetricians1 . In these cases, the baby’s head is lodged tightly in the pelvis, and in order to deliver the baby, the head must be elevated.
