Winter Placenta Fcps cvd Fig.3, 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for obstetric use, these placenta forceps provide controlled grasp and traction during manual removal of the placenta and retrieval of retained placental tissue following delivery. The instrument's geometry facilitates safe access to the uterine cavity during vaginal procedures and allows for secure handling of placental tissue while minimizing slipping. It is commonly used by obstetricians, certified nurse midwives, and delivery-room teams when instrumented removal is required to manage retained placenta or assist in hemostasis.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft improves reach and line-of-sight in the vaginal canal and uterine fundus, enabling the clinician to approach placental tissue with a more favorable angle for traction. At 28 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach with tactile feedback for controlled manipulation. The broad, cupped jaws distribute grip force across a larger surface area to reduce focal pressure on tissue while maintaining a secure purchase on friable placental tissue. The Fig. 3 pattern denotes a specific curvature and jaw profile commonly used in obstetric instrument sets for effective intrauterine access.
