  3. Suction cup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_cup

    The working face of the suction cup is made of elastic, flexible material and has a curved surface. [3] When the center of the suction cup is pressed against a flat, non-porous surface, the volume of the space between the suction cup and the flat surface is reduced, which causes the air or water between the cup and the surface to be expelled past the rim of the circular cup.

  4. Self-sealing suction cup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sealing_suction_cup

    The self-sealing suction cup is a suction cup that exerts a suction force only when it is in physical contact with an object. Unlike most other suction cups, it does not exert any suction force when it is not in contact with an object. [1] Its grasping ability is achieved entirely through passive means without the use of sensors, valves, or ...

  5. Vacuum extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_extraction

    A suction cup is placed onto the head of the baby and the suction draws the skin from the scalp into the cup. Correct placement of the cup directly over the flexion point, about 3 cm anterior from the occipital (posterior) fontanelle, is critical to the success of a vacuum extraction. [2] Ventouse devices have handles to allow for traction.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_(medicine)

    In surgery suction can be used to remove blood from the area being operated on to allow surgeons to view and work on the area. Suction may also be used to remove blood that has built up within the skull after an intracranial hemorrhage. [2] Suction devices may be mechanical hand pumps or battery or electrically operated mechanisms.

  7. Chignon (medical term) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chignon_(medical_term)

    When the vacuum is applied to the infant's head, the tension creates a difference in pressure between the atmosphere and the infant's scalp that causes the soft tissue layers of the scalp to fill inside the suction cup. [5] [6] Subsequently, interstitial fluid and small hemorrhages build up, causing the head to swell and forming a localized edema.

  8. Microsuction tape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsuction_tape

    For micro-suction tape, the necessary force is proportional to the attachment surface area. Compared to a suction cup, the force is smaller for the tape (assuming the same attachment surface area) because only a portion of the surface area contains craters that form vacuum chambers, and the maximal force factor is determined by this portion.
