Winter Placenta Fcps str Fig.3, 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in obstetric procedures, this instrument facilitates controlled grasping and removal of the placenta and retained placental tissue during the third stage of labor or postpartum interventions. The 28 cm length provides reach into the uterine cavity for vaginal procedures and for retrieval when manual extraction is required. It is intended to assist obstetricians and midwives in securing placental tissue with improved tactile feedback while minimizing instrument exchanges during emergent or routine placental management.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft and Fig. 3 configuration provide a direct line of approach for grasping tissue within the uterine cavity. A straight geometry gives the operator enhanced control and tactile feedback when locating and engaging the placenta. The long, narrow jaw geometry concentrates gripping force on the specimen, improving hold on placental tissue while reducing the need for repositioning. The simple straight profile also facilitates cleaning and inspection between uses.
