Sklar Murless Head Extractor, Obstetric Instrument
An obstetric instrument from Sklar used to assist with head extraction during difficult vaginal deliveries, handled by obstetricians and midwifery teams.
The Sklar Murless Head Extractor is a specialty surgical instrument used in obstetric practice to assist with delivery of the fetal head when a birth is proving difficult. It belongs to the family of obstetric extraction instruments used alongside forceps and vacuum devices in labour and delivery settings.
Obstetricians and trained delivery staff use this type of instrument to apply controlled traction to the head when natural progress has stalled, helping to reduce delivery time and lower the risk of complications for both mother and baby. As with other obstetric extractors, it is built for a firm, secure grip and for use under direct clinical supervision in a hospital or specialist maternity unit.
Facilities stocking obstetric instrumentation typically keep this alongside related delivery instruments as part of their labour ward tray sets. Buyers sourcing this item are usually maternity units, obstetric departments or surgical instrument distributors supplying hospitals across the region.
