Simpson Luikart Obstetrical Fcps 36cm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled traction and rotation for operative vaginal delivery during the second stage of labor. Used to grasp and guide the fetal head in indicated situations such as prolonged second stage, maternal exhaustion, or selected cases of fetal compromise where forceps delivery is clinically appropriate. Application requires experienced obstetrical technique to minimize maternal soft-tissue injury and fetal head trauma; contraindications include an unengaged fetal head or maternal/fetal conditions that preclude operative vaginal delivery.

Design & Configuration

The pelvic curvature of the blades aligns with the maternal birth canal to allow engagement around the fetal head while maintaining an appropriate axis of traction. Fenestrated blade geometry distributes contact pressure across the head to improve purchase with reduced focal compression. The two separate blades articulate at the handle and incorporate a locking mechanism to secure blade opposition and permit coordinated traction and controlled rotation.
