Description
De Lee Obstetrical (Midwifery) Forceps
De Lee obstetrical forceps are a 30 cm pattern for assisted vaginal delivery. They carry the De Lee name and suit standard delivery trays.
Assisted vaginal delivery
Forceps help deliver the baby when the second stage of labor needs assistance. So the operator applies one blade at a time around the fetal head. Then gentle traction follows the curve of the birth canal.
A 30 cm pattern
At 30 cm, this pattern sits between short outlet designs and long rotational ones. Therefore, it offers a useful middle length for many low and assisted deliveries. Also, it fits standard delivery trays alongside scissors, clamps and suture.
Trained hands
Forceps delivery calls for proper training, clear indications and consent from the mother. However, a well-kept instrument supports the team when that moment comes. Meanwhile, regular simulation practice keeps the whole team’s skills current between real cases.
Stocking the unit
Many units keep De Lee obstetrical forceps alongside a short outlet pair. In that case, the team can pick length to suit the station of the head. Plus, a spare pair covers reprocessing time.
Cleaning De Lee obstetrical forceps
Pull the blades apart and wash each one on its own. Next, rinse the lock surfaces and dry them to prevent staining. Finally, store the blades together so the pair never gets split up.
