Kielanda Tongs

Kielanda Forceps are a tool used in medicine to remove a fetus from the uterus. This instrument was invented by Norwegian gynecologist Charles Kielland in 1892.

Kielland's Spikes are two metal rods connected by a spring. One rod has a sharp tip and the other has a handle. The tip is inserted into the uterus through the vagina, and the handle remains outside. The patient then squeezes the handle, which causes the springs to compress and the tip to penetrate the uterus. After this, the patient releases the handle, and the springs unclench, pulling the fetus out of the uterus.

There are advantages and disadvantages to using Kielland forceps. Benefits include quick and efficient extraction of the fetus, as well as a reduced risk of complications for the mother. Disadvantages include the possibility of damage to the uterus, cervix and fetus, as well as the risk of vaginal rupture and bleeding.

Despite its shortcomings, Kielland forceps remain a popular instrument for obstetrics in many countries around the world. However, doctors are now increasingly using other methods of delivery, such as cesarean section or vacuum extraction of the fetus.

The Kielland Forceps is an instrument developed by the Norwegian gynecologist and obstetrician-gynecological surgeon Kielland in 1919. He used his experience with obstetric forceps to create a specialized tool that could significantly reduce the time required to remove a baby from
