Siebold Scissors

Siebold scissors (e. k. j. Siebold, 1801–1861) are an instrument used in obstetrics to cut the membranes and separate the placenta. They were invented by the German obstetrician Johann Siebold in 1832.

Siebold scissors are curved blades that are connected by a spring. Blades can come in a variety of lengths and shapes, but they are usually curved to make them easier to use.

The use of Siebold scissors is an important step in the birth process. Once the fetus has been successfully removed from the uterus, remaining tissue such as the placenta and membranes must be removed. This avoids complications associated with remaining tissue.

One of the main concerns obstetricians face when using Siebold scissors is the potential for tissue damage. Therefore, before using scissors, it is necessary to carefully assess the patient's condition and select the correct length and shape of the blades.

In general, Siebold scissors are an important tool in obstetric practice and allow successful completion of childbirth without any complications. However, their use requires certain skills and experience, so it is necessary to contact qualified specialists.
