Hirst's Placenta Fcps cvd 6mm, 27.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for obstetric use, these placenta forceps provide secure, atraumatic grasping of placental tissue during manual removal and retrieval of retained products of conception. The curved geometry and 27.5 cm length allow controlled access into the uterine cavity while maintaining tactile feedback for the operator. Appropriate for use in labor & delivery suites, operating rooms and procedure areas where manual extraction or directed traction on placental tissue is required.

Design & Configuration

The curved profile aligns with the natural uterine curvature to improve line-of-sight and approach when reaching the fundus and lateral aspects of the uterine cavity. A 6 mm jaw width provides a broad contact surface to distribute pressure across placental tissue, reducing focal shear and minimizing fragmentation during extraction. The overall length balances reach with hand control so the clinician can apply precise traction and repositioning as needed.
