McLean Tucker Luikart Obstetrical Fcps 40cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in operative vaginal delivery, this McLean Tucker Luikart obstetrical forceps provide controlled traction and limited rotational capability to assist delivery of the fetal head when clinically indicated (for example, maternal exhaustion, prolonged second stage, or selected nonreassuring fetal heart tracings where forceps delivery is appropriate). Use requires proper patient selection, adequate maternal anesthesia, and operator training in forceps technique to minimize maternal and fetal trauma.

Design & Configuration

The instrument is a paired, articulated hand-held forceps with a box lock and manual locking mechanism to unify the two blades during traction. The overall 40 cm length balances reach and tactile control for the operator. The geometry of the blades and curved shafts is intended to conform to the maternal anatomy and cradle the fetal head, allowing focused force transmission and alignment while reducing lateral slipping. Ergonomic handle profiles facilitate a secure grip during controlled application and release.
