Wrigley Obstetrical Fcps 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for assisted vaginal delivery, this short obstetrical forceps are intended primarily for low and outlet applications where the fetal head is low in the birth canal. The instrument stabilizes and gently grasps the fetal head to permit controlled traction and limited rotation during delivery. Common clinical scenarios include shortening the second stage of labor, facilitating delivery when the mother is exhausted or unable to push effectively, and selected operative deliveries where forceps use is indicated and maternal/fetal conditions are appropriate.

Design & Configuration

The short length and dual curvature of the blades concentrate the grip on the fetal head while minimizing reach into the maternal pelvis—making the instrument well suited to low/outlet maneuvers. Fenestrated blades reduce compressive surface area while providing secure purchase on the head. Paired opposing handles allow the operator to apply controlled, incremental traction and, when required, gentle rotation. The compact geometry improves visibility and access in the perineal field and reduces the lever arm compared with longer pelvis-level forceps, helping to limit transmitted force to maternal tissues when used correctly.
