!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Jorge Odón isn't the first auto mechanic to ever come up with an idea for a new product, but he's probably the first one in his field to invent a medical device meant to save a baby's life at birth.

His idea was first hatched in 2007, when Odón, of Argentina, watched a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on how to retrieve a cork from inside a wine bottle. The trick worked by stuffing a plastic bag inside the bottle and blowing into it. As the bag expanded, it trapped the cork and the demonstrator was able to pull out the bag, along with the cork. That night, Odón was struck with inspiration during a dream: What if the same extracting method could be used during childbirth for babies stuck in the birth canal? According to an interview Odón, 59, gave !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! this week, he then woke up his wife and excitedly shared his vision, to which she replied that said he "was crazy and went back to sleep.".... !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Of course this begs the question...if a child is born via Odon Device, does that mean he/she will be a gearhead?

"OK, I'll get this side..... You go get some clean towels and go stand on the other side of the room and catch it."

There are lots of ways to vacuum a baby out, my first born was vacuum assisted. Its not ideal as its pretty hard on the baby.

My son was vacum assisted as well. It's not so bad...better than the salad tongs

That must have been a weird-ass dream.

So based on this picture, the device has something to do with placing a plastic bag on top of the new born's head.. am I the only one that sees a problem with this?

Newborns can't breath much within the birth canals anyway.
