A most unusual set of forceps by
Osiander, a renowned and influential 17th German Professor of
obstetrics. The definitive text on obstetric forceps by Das
Kedarnath devotes six pages to him. He only made 2 forceps, (these
are the shorter variety), but they are few and far between. A heavy,
unfenestrated instrument made of unplated steel and one of the first
to use the "new" pelvic curve. The locking mechanism is of the fixed
pivot type and is held in place by a securing bar which rotates over
the joint. |
