OBSTETRIC FORCEP SIMPSON

NGS® Simpson Obstetric Forcep also known as the outlet forceps is used to expedite delivery during prolonged labor, shoulder dystocia, fetal distress and meconium staining of the liquor. The instrument has an overall length of 30 cm and has specially curved jaws that are contoured to mold around the head of the baby. Once the baby’s head is visible at the perineum, one blade of the forceps is gently inserted into the vagina and then the other. The shanks are pulled together to close the lock and then the forceps is gently retracted to pull the baby put.
