Sklar Luikart-Bill Traction Handle
A detachable handle that fits obstetrical forceps blades, giving the obstetrician a secure grip for applying controlled delivery traction.
The Sklar Luikart-Bill Traction Handle is a component of a sectional obstetrical forceps system, providing the handle and grip an obstetrician uses to apply controlled, steady traction once the forceps blades have been placed around the fetal head. Sectional forceps systems allow the blades to be introduced separately from the handle, which can make correct blade placement easier before the handle is attached and traction begins.
This handle pattern is associated with the Luikart type forceps blades and is used in assisted vaginal delivery when a forceps delivery is clinically indicated. Obstetricians and labour ward teams keep this type of handle as part of their obstetrical forceps set, alongside the matching blades and any accessory pieces.
This listing is a single configuration. As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is manufactured from surgical stainless steel and intended for careful cleaning and sterilisation between deliveries, given the critical nature of its clinical use.
