Hirst's Placenta Fcps cvd 8mm, 27.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for obstetric use during the third stage of labor and postpartum management, this instrument provides controlled access to the uterine cavity and vaginal canal for grasping and removing the placenta or retained placental fragments. Its geometry and length facilitate reach to the fundus while allowing the operator to apply secure, directed traction during manual extraction and tissue retrieval in delivery suites, labor-and-delivery operating rooms, and ambulatory surgery centers.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft follows the anatomic axis of the birth canal and uterine cavity, improving visibility and alignment during intrauterine or transvaginal procedures. The 27.5 cm overall length balances reach with tactile control for the operator, while the narrow 8 mm jaw profile enables passage through the cervical canal and close apposition to placental tissue without excessive bulk. The grasping tip is configured to deliver a secure hold on soft tissue, facilitating controlled extraction with reduced slippage.
