Simpson Braun Obstetrical Fcps 33cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is intended for use in assisted vaginal delivery to apply controlled traction and, when clinically indicated, gentle rotation of the fetal head. It is used by obstetricians during second-stage labor when operative vaginal delivery is appropriate and indications, fetal station, and maternal conditions meet clinical criteria for forceps use.

Design & Configuration

The Simpson Braun configuration combines curvature intended to accommodate both the maternal pelvic axis and the contour of the fetal head. The paired blades articulate and lock to provide a secure but adjustable grasp, enabling the clinician to exert axial traction and limited rotational maneuvers while maintaining alignment with the birth canal. The 33 cm overall length balances reach and control for routine obstetrical applications.
