Forceps
Description:
All metal forceps, with a single forge for each handle and blade. The tips of the handle curve outwards. These forceps are combinations of Hodge, Wallace and Davis forceps. All are single forge metal forceps with English locks and hooked handles. David Davis (1777-1841) was a British obstetrician who designed numerous forceps. Hugh Lenox Hodge (1796-1873), a medical graduate of University of Pennsylvania, lectured at Philadelphia Medical Institute for many years before becoming professor of obstetrics at his alma mater. His forceps were based on French forceps. William Wallace (1835-1896) was a British physician who moved to Brooklyn in 1864. He designed forceps of light construction and Hodge-type hooked handles.
