From Wine Cork Hack to Delivery Room: The Odón Device
Imagine: An Argentine car mechanic, Jorge Odón, watches a clever trick—pulling a stuck cork from a wine bottle using a plastic bag. That night, inspiration strikes!   What if the same gentle physics could save babies in tough births?

Born in a garage with no medical background, the Odón Device (now OdonAssist™) is a simple plastic sleeve with an inflatable cuff. It slips around the baby’s head, inflates for a secure yet soft grip, and guides the newborn safely out.

Safer than forceps or vacuum—less risk to mom and baby—this low-cost innovation shines in low-resource areas, potentially preventing unnecessary C-sections and saving lives worldwide.
Backed by WHO trials and now CE-marked, this “garage genius” proves: One bold idea can change millions of births forever. Ordinary people create extraordinary hope!
