Elliot Obstetrical Fcps 38cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in operative vaginal delivery, this Elliot-pattern obstetrical forceps provide controlled traction and, when indicated, limited rotation of the fetal head during the second stage of labor. Appropriate clinical indications include prolonged second stage, maternal exhaustion, or certain fetal indications when forceps delivery is judged safer than cesarean delivery. Use requires obstetric training and adherence to local guidelines for fetal station, maternal pelvis, and anesthesia.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s two-blade hinged configuration allows the operator to approximate and secure the fetal head with balanced pressure from both blades while maintaining tactile feedback through the shanks. At 38 cm overall length, the geometry offers a balance of reach and leverage suitable for typical maternal anatomy and operative positioning in the delivery suite. The hinge and shank design support controlled, incremental traction and help permit careful rotational maneuvers when clinically required.
