[A new obstetric forceps: the Bamberger divergent forceps (author's transl)].
A new obstetric forceps is presented which has been used since April 1975 in 52 cases for outlet forceps deliveries. The model is a divergent forceps with the rotational axis in the posterior 1/3. The forceps is applied as usual. The shanks do not cross. The distance between the blades is variable by a mechanism in the handle with an automatic stopping mechanism. Pressure on the fetal head is largely avoided. Our experience has shown that this forceps has advantages over the types of forceps in common usage.
