Simpson-Fenomenov Forceps

Simpson-Fenomenov forceps is an obstetric instrument named after James Young Simpson and Nikolai Nikolaevich Fenomenov.

James Young Simpson (1811-1870) was a Scottish obstetrician and gynecologist who made significant contributions to the development of obstetrics. He invented a number of obstetric instruments, including forceps for extracting fetuses.

Nikolai Nikolaevich Fenomenov (1855-1918) - an outstanding Russian obstetrician-gynecologist. He improved the Simpson forceps, making them more functional and safer.

Simpson-Phenomenov forceps are an obstetric instrument for extracting the fetus by the head. They have curved blades, which allows them to cover and fix the baby's head without damaging soft tissues. These forceps are widely used in obstetric practice.

Simpson-Phenomenon clicks (synonym: Simpson-Feneon forceps) is an operative method of delivery in which “additional” contractions are used to push the presenting part of the fetus into the narrow amniotic cavity and press it to the pelvic floor.

The obstetric appointment was performed according to the method of Yu.A. Simpson. In the upper third of the first fetal period, the doctor, placing his hands on the fundus of the uterus, exerts downward pressure with his palm, thereby performing so-called pinch actions, actively pulls the head to the pubis, rhythmically bending the elbow joint presses on the fundus of the uterus in the direction from bottom to top. In this case, the woman may feel increased contractions in the lower half of the abdomen and shooting pains in the sacrum. Further, in the second stage of labor, active intervention continues in the form of frequent pressure with the palms on the fundus of the uterus around the circumference and tapping
