Simpson Obstetrical Fcps 23cm

Clinical Application

Simpson obstetrical forceps are designed for assisted vaginal delivery to grasp, guide, and extract the fetal head when maternal expulsive efforts are insufficient or when controlled traction is indicated. Their geometry provides secure engagement of the fetal scalp while allowing the obstetrician to apply axial traction and limited rotational guidance during the second stage of labor. Selection of an appropriate size and careful application are critical to minimize maternal and fetal soft-tissue trauma.

Design & Configuration

The Simpson pattern features fenestrated blades that distribute compressive forces across the cranial surface, improving grip without relying on teeth. Ring handles with an interlocking locking mechanism allow the two blades to be aligned and secured for coordinated movement. The overall length provides reach and leverage needed in standard obstetrical practice while keeping the instrument maneuverable within the birth canal. These design elements help the operator control delivery direction and traction while maintaining a stable hold on the fetal head.
