Watched Three Idiots ? Car Mechanic Dreams Up Genius Baby-Vacuum To Ease Births Watch this video:youtu.be/uL1ovAYtKuQ According to the New York Times, roughly 10 percent of the 137 million babies being born worldwide every year suffer from serious birth-related consequences, and another 5.6 are stillborn or die quickly after birth. The Odón Device aims to fix that. But Argentian Jorge Odón wasnt thinking about any of that when the idea struck him. It all actually started when Odón was watching a YouTube video (above) about extracting a rogue cork from an empty bottle of wine. Later, after laying down to sleep, Odón claims the idea simply came to him in a dream (as the best ideas are wont to do), so he did what any enterprising mind would: rushed into the kitchen, stuffed his daughters doll into a glass jar, and pulled her right back out using a fabric bag as his prototype. The doll lived, and Odón went on to win the prestigious endorsement of the World Health Organization. Now, a medical technology company right here in the USA has licensed his baby bag for real life production. Currently in these obstructed labor situations, the best options (once a cesarian has been ruled out) are large pliers or suction cups clamping down on the babys head to pull it out, which can have serious consequences to the babys present and future health in untrained hands. The Odón Device, however, has thus far appears to be perfectly safe in the hands of midwives lacking formal training. Although, further testing is still underway.
