Clinical Application
Designed for use in assisted vaginal delivery, these Boerma obstetrical forceps provide controlled grip and traction of the fetal head during operative vaginal deliveries. The instrument is intended for use by obstetricians and qualified practitioners to assist with low or outlet extractions and to apply gentle rotation when clinically indicated. The 29 cm overall length balances reach and control in the maternal pelvis and delivery field.
Design & Configuration
The Boerma pattern is a paired forceps design with anatomically shaped blades and an articulated shank that locks to provide secure, evenly distributed pressure on the fetal head. The geometry of the blades and the joint mechanics facilitate safe positioning, stable grip and controlled traction or rotation while minimizing focal pressure. The overall length and handle ergonomics are configured to give the operator tactile control in the delivery field.
