Anderson Obstetrical Fcps 38cm

Clinical Application

Designed for operative vaginal delivery, this Anderson-pattern obstetrical forceps are intended to assist in controlled traction and limited rotation of the fetal head during second-stage management when vaginal delivery is indicated. They are used by trained obstetricians to expedite delivery in situations such as prolonged second stage, maternal exhaustion, or certain non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns where forceps delivery is appropriate and safe.

Design & Configuration

The two matched blades articulate and lock together to provide a secure, symmetric grip on the head while allowing the operator to apply steady traction and fine rotational adjustments. The 38 cm overall length provides reach and mechanical advantage while maintaining tactile feedback at the handles. A reliable locking mechanism and well-balanced shanks help maintain alignment and minimize unintended slipping during extraction.
