Instrumented an obstetrical forceps

New technologies and new methods in medical engineering was introduced in the medical world. With these technologies we can find a surgical instrumentation more and more adapted to carry out interventions. In obstetrics practice the doctor can use some instruments to delivery the baby, such as for example the obstetrical forceps. The obstetrical forceps has been in use for over 300 years with more than 700 variations of design, however, none of these allow the engineers to assess the force on the fetal skull. Cranial depressed fractures occur. We propose instrumented forceps to control the efforts of tightening on the fetus skull. The clinical and scientific consequences of such study are: the decrease of the number of accidents during a delivery with forceps, the help to the choice of the way of delivery, the improvement of the education, the increase of the knowledge of the compressives phenomenon bound to the final phase of the delivery and the participation in the prevention by the intelligent biomedical instrumentation.
