Barnes Neville Simpson Obst.Fcps w/handle 40cm

Clinical Application

These obstetric forceps are designed for use in operative vaginal delivery to assist extraction of the fetal head during the second stage of labor. They are intended for controlled traction and limited rotational maneuvers when clinical assessment indicates forceps delivery is appropriate. Use supports shortening the second stage, relieving maternal exhaustion, or managing fetal distress when contraindications to forceps use have been excluded.

Design & Configuration

The instrument geometry combines a cephalic and pelvic curve that conforms to the maternal birth canal and the contour of the fetal head, improving blade-to-head conformity and allowing safer, more controlled traction. Fenestrated blades reduce weight while maintaining secure purchase on the fetal head. An articulated hinge aligns the two blades and provides a stable lock point so traction forces are transmitted predictably through the instrument. The 40 cm overall length provides adequate reach for low and many mid‑pelvic applications while preserving lever control at the handles.
