Simpson Braun Obstetrical Fcps 36cm

Clinical Application

Designed for operative vaginal delivery, these obstetrical forceps are used by obstetricians to grasp, guide, and apply controlled traction or limited rotation to the fetal head during assisted vaginal birth. They are indicated in clinical situations requiring mechanical assistance such as prolonged second stage, maternal exhaustion, or when timely delivery is required for fetal or maternal indications. The instrument's geometry facilitates secure head engagement while enabling careful, incremental traction under direct clinical control.

Design & Configuration

The curved blade geometry conforms to the contour of the fetal head and the maternal birth canal, helping to distribute pressure across a broader surface and reduce focal compression. The paired, articulated configuration with an integrated locking mechanism permits secure approximation of the two blades and stable application of traction. The overall length provides ergonomic reach and leverage appropriate for adult pelvic anatomy while allowing the operator to maintain tactile feedback and fine control during delivery maneuvers.
