Clinical Application
Designed for use in operative vaginal delivery, this Milne-Murray obstetric forceps provide secure engagement of the fetal head to facilitate controlled traction and gentle rotation when clinically indicated. The instrument is intended for use by trained obstetricians and midwives in labor and delivery suites and is suited to outlet and low-forceps extractions where proper application of forceps is required.
Design & Configuration
The double-curve geometry (cephalic and pelvic curves) aligns the blades with the contours of the fetal head and the maternal birth canal, helping to distribute pressure evenly and improve blade-seat conformity. The integrated traction handle gives the operator an ergonomic, secure grip for axial traction and controlled delivery forces. At 40 cm overall length, the instrument offers reach appropriate for routine obstetric applications while maintaining tactile control.
