Forceps have 4 major components, as follows:
Blades: The blades grasp the fetus. Each blade has a curve to fit around the fetal head. The blades are oval or elliptical and can be fenestrated (with a hole in the middle) or solid. Many blades are also curved in a plane 90° from the cephalic curve to fit the maternal pelvis (pelvic curve).
Shanks: The shanks connect the blades to the handles and provide the length of the device. They are either parallel or crossing.
Lock: The lock is the articulation between the shanks. Many different types have been designed.
Handles: The handles are where the operator holds the device and applies traction to the fetal head |

Vacuum extraction instruments
All vacuum extractors incorporate several features that include the following:
A rigid or flexible vacuum cup of varying composition (eg, polyethylene, silastic plastic, stainless steel)
A mushroom-shaped cup with a fixed internal vacuum grid or guard
A combined vacuum pump/handle or a vacuum port to permit a vacuum hose attachment
A handle, wire, or chain for traction
Rigid-cup designs include the classic Malmstrφm stainless steel vacuum cup and various modifications of this instrument. Various rigid plastic cups designed for use with deflexed or posterior positioned heads are also available.
Soft-cup extractors include the infrequently used cone-shaped silastic cup (Kobayashi device) and a number of other disposable polyethylene or combined polyethylene-silastic cup designs. No data exist permitting comparison of the currently popular vacuum extraction (VE) soft cup design in terms of either relative risk or clinical use. The differences observed in cup design largely reflect marketing decisions rather than scientifically proven extraction efficacy or safety. |
