Sklar Barrett Placenta Forceps, 10 Inch
A 10 inch obstetric forceps used to grasp and remove retained placental tissue securely following delivery or during related procedures. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Barrett Placenta Forceps is a 10 inch obstetric instrument used to grasp and remove retained placental tissue from the uterus following vaginal delivery or during related obstetric procedures. Its curved, ring shaped jaws are designed to encircle and hold onto placental or membrane tissue firmly, which is important when manual removal is not fully effective and instrumental assistance is needed to clear the uterine cavity completely, reducing the risk of postpartum hemorrhage or infection associated with retained products of conception.
The 10 inch length gives the obstetrician reach into the uterine cavity through the vaginal canal without needing to insert their hand fully, and the smooth, atraumatic profile of the jaws is intended to minimise trauma to the uterine lining during the procedure. This forceps is used specifically by obstetricians and gynecologists managing postpartum complications, and is typically kept in a labor and delivery or obstetric emergency instrument set.
It is reprocessed for reuse following standard obstetric instrument sterilization protocols.
