Elliot Obstetrical Fcps 32cm

Clinical Application

Used to assist vaginal delivery by providing controlled traction and limited rotation of the fetal head during the second stage of labor. Appropriate when operative vaginal delivery is indicated (e.g., prolonged second stage, maternal exhaustion, or certain non‑reassuring fetal heart tracings) and when the fetal head is engaged and adequately assessed. Requires skilled operator technique and coordination with maternal positioning, anesthesia, and neonatal care.

Design & Configuration

The Elliott pattern features two articulated blades joined at a box lock with a handle and locking mechanism to secure blade alignment during traction. The blades include a cephalic curve designed to cradle the fetal head while the overall pelvic curve of the shaft helps align traction vectors with the birth canal. This geometry facilitates secure placement, distributes contact pressure across the skull, and allows controlled, incremental traction and rotational maneuvers when clinically indicated.
