Simpson Obstetrical Fcps S/ model str 23cm

Clinical Application

Obstetrical forceps of the Simpson pattern are designed for use in operative vaginal delivery to provide controlled traction and gentle manipulation of the fetal head during the second stage of labor. This instrument is used by trained obstetricians when clinical indications support forceps delivery (for example, maternal exhaustion, prolonged second stage, or certain fetal conditions) and when pelvic anatomy and fetal position permit safe application. It facilitates precise application and limited rotational adjustments while minimizing direct digital pressure on the fetal scalp.

Design & Configuration

The straight configuration produces an alignment of the blades and handles that supports symmetric placement around the fetal head and straightforward traction along the birth canal axis. A 23 cm overall length provides a balance of reach and tactile control for delivery maneuvers in standard clinical settings. The hinged blade assembly allows the operator to approximate and cradle the fetal head securely while maintaining manual feedback to control force and rotation.
