The Kiwi® Omni-CTM Cup is a vacuum-assisted delivery device designed specifically for the confined abdominal space of c-section (cesarian section) deliveries.
Follow the source link for a link to the website of the manufacturer
The Kiwi Omni-C Cup’s low profile facilities ease of insertion, decreases the likelihood for traumatic or deliberate extensions of the uterine incision, and provides the highest degree of maneuverability within the confined space of the abdominal cavity.
In addition, the Kiwi Omni-C is ideal for failed vaginal deliveries when the fetal head has partially descended into birth canal and an emergency c-section is indicated.
The Kiwi Omni-C Cup’s two finger grooves improve the cup grip and facilitate proper placement over the flexion point.
Utilizing a baffle filter on the inside top of the Kiwi Omni-C helps to adequately disperse the vacuum.
With c-sections on the rise, the Kiwi Omni-C Cup is an effective device in helping physicians reduce the risks associated with this surgical procedure. In fact, use of the Kiwi at c-section contributes to less blood loss, fewer uterine incision extensions, and fewer cervical lacerations.

Kiwi Delivery

I think I must be on the wrong track here, but all I know is that a kiwi can be a number of things:
1. A flightless bird with a long beak indigenous to New Zealand.
2. Slang for a person of New Zealand origin. Often very laid back in character.
3. Short for kiwi fruit. Another name for Chinese gooseberry or Yang-tao.
Going along with the second meaning, I know that a number of Kiwis are great sheep shearers! Also, just discovered that the New Zealand dollar is often referred to as the 'The Kiwi', so that would be used to pay for labour!

A Kiwi is bascially a 'sucker' that is put onto the baby's head when it is still in the birth canal to help the baby.
This is used when the mother cannot naturally push the baby out. I needed the Kiwi with my baby boy, it is not something that you would opt for but is something that the medical team will make a decision about.
