Malene Hegenberger’s
"I want to be a role model for other midwives, that if they have a brilliant idea, they should take it on".
Malene Hegenberger is the second woman in 200 years to invent a new obstetric device. She shared why she's so passionate and how it feels to be the second woman to do it.
Design features of the Hegenberger Retractor
The device works by insertion into the patient's vagina and is designed to expand the area to provide a clear visual of tears.
It is made from smooth plastic instead of metal, a consideration intended to make the device more comfortable and easier to use.
The Hegenberger Retractor is designed to stay expanded throughout the procedure.
