Description:
These forceps seem to be a combination of Jenk's and Simpson's forceps. They do not have the characteristic finger rests on both handle ends as are found on the Jenk's forceps. Edward Wallace Jenks (1833-1903) received his MD from Castleton Medical College in Vermont. In 1871 he founded the Detroit Medical College where he taught obstetrics. He designed both long and short forceps with finger rests at both ends of the handles.

This was used in the treatment of diphtheria.
