Clinical Application
Designed for use in operative vaginal delivery, these obstetrical forceps provide controlled traction and rotation of the fetal head during the second stage of labor when forceps-assisted delivery is indicated. The instrument is intended for use by trained obstetricians or clinicians experienced in operative vaginal techniques and should be employed in accordance with accepted obstetric guidelines and patient-specific clinical judgment.
Design & Configuration
The two‑bladed articulated design permits precise approximation and alignment of the blades around the fetal head, allowing the operator to apply measured traction and limited rotational maneuvers. The overall 36 cm length balances reach and leverage for maternal pelvic anatomy and clinical handling in a delivery setting. Smooth contours and a polished finish reduce soft‑tissue snagging and facilitate insertion and removal.
