Barnes Neville Obst. Fcps w/handle 40cm

Clinical Application

Designed for operative vaginal delivery, this obstetric forceps provide controlled grip and traction on the fetal head when clinically indicated. The instrument is intended for use by trained obstetricians to assist delivery during the second stage of labor, enabling gentle traction and directional guidance to facilitate safe passage through the birth canal. Use is appropriate where maternal and fetal conditions meet accepted criteria for forceps-assisted delivery and when full dilation has been achieved.

Design & Configuration

The two-blade articulated configuration aligns the opposing blades around the fetal head to distribute pressure and allow a secure, yet controlled grip. The integrated handles provide mechanical advantage and fine tactile feedback for the operator, improving control during traction and rotation maneuvers. At 40 cm overall length the instrument offers extended reach suitable for higher stations or larger maternal habitus while preserving leverage needed for clinically controlled extraction.
