Laufe-Piper Obst. Fcps hollow blade 30cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in operative vaginal delivery, this Piper-style obstetric forceps are used to grasp and control the fetal head during assisted vaginal extraction. The instrument is appropriate for scenarios that require controlled traction and limited rotation of the head—commonly employed in prolonged second stage, maternal exhaustion, or when delivery assistance is indicated for the after‑coming head in breech deliveries. Use requires appropriate obstetric training and adherence to standard obstetric indications and contraindications.

Design & Configuration

The hollow-blade geometry provides a concave contact surface that cradles the fetal head, distributing pressure over a broader area compared with narrow blades. This configuration can improve conformity to head contours and reduce point compression during traction. The 30 cm overall length balances reach and control for routine maternal pelvis heights, allowing the operator to apply measured traction while maintaining manual control for any required rotation or release.
