- Description:
- This is an instrument for removing a fetus. Hippolyte Blot of Paris designed this perforator for obstructed labor. The points of the blade are like diamond shaped spears. The spring-loaded handle of these perforators facilitates one handed use. After the fetus is perforated, compressing the handle engages the spring, which allows the blades to open and enlarge the perforation.
