Referring to the drawings in detail, the leg portion 3 is provided with a suitable foot portion and has an upper front part extending above the knee of the wearer, and the straps 4 are attached to and extend across the front form handholds.
When a woman is about to lie down for the labor of childbirth, she may put one of my obstetrical devices upon eachfoot, and as she lies upon her back with her knees bent the handholds 4 being on top of her limbs are in a position to be conveniently reached and firmly gripped by her hands.
As a means of adjusting the device for the convenience of different people, I provide a plurality of the handholds on each device arranged one above the other, so that the most convenient one may be used.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim is An obstetrical device comprising the leg portion 3. provided with a suitable foot portion and having an upper front part adapted to extend above the knee of the wearer, and a plurality of straps extending across the upper front part.
