Willet Placenta Praevia Fcps T-shaped 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for obstetric use in the management of placenta praevia and retained placenta, this T-shaped forceps provides a broad contact surface for securely engaging placental tissue during manual removal or controlled delivery. It is used by obstetricians and delivery-room clinicians to obtain firm, distributed purchase on placental tissue to aid extraction while minimizing focal pressure that could increase tissue tearing. The instrument is applicable in both vaginal and cesarean settings as an adjunct to standard manual techniques and hemostasis management.

Design & Configuration

The T-shaped tip geometry concentrates contact area across a wider surface than pointed or toothed forceps, which helps reduce localized tissue trauma and slippage when engaging friable placental tissue. The 19 cm overall length provides sufficient reach into the uterine cavity while preserving tactile feedback and control, facilitating precise handling during extraction maneuvers. The straight shaft and T-shaped working end are optimized for axial traction and even distribution of compressive force on the maternal side of the placenta.
