Based on the Chapman forceps, in turn
a modification the oldest examples of obstetrics forceps in
existence, the Chamberlen forceps. "a forceps of somewhat
similar pattern (to Chapman) but having a different kind of lock may
well have been the instrument employed by Dr Walker (?1740), the
last survivor of Dr Peter Chamberlen's obstetric progeny". Note the
lack of pelvic curve. A similar pair are in the Edinburgh Obstetric
Museum as reference on P 108 of Das' "Obstetric Forceps" |
