Wrigley forceps, also known as Wrigley obstetrical forceps, are a specialized medical instrument used in obstetrics and gynecology. They are designed to assist in the delivery of a baby during childbirth. These forceps were invented by Dr. Edward W. Wrigley, an American obstetrician, in the early 20th century.

The Wrigley forceps have a unique design with slightly curved blades that are smooth and a bit flattened at the tips. The blades are inserted into the birth canal to gently grasp the baby's head, allowing the healthcare provider to guide the baby through the birth canal during the delivery process. The forceps' curvature and flattened tips are intended to minimize the risk of injury to both the baby and the mother during the extraction.

The proper use of Wrigley forceps requires considerable skill and expertise, as improper application can lead to complications and potential harm. Consequently, their use is generally limited to experienced obstetricians and healthcare professionals in specific cases where the baby's delivery is deemed challenging or when there is a need to expedite the birthing process.

It's essential to note that forceps deliveries, including Wrigley forceps, are becoming less common in modern obstetrics due to advancements in medical technology and alternative delivery methods, such as cesarean sections (C-sections). C-sections are often preferred in cases of high-risk deliveries or when the natural birthing process poses potential risks to the mother or the baby.

Outlet forceps, also known as low-cavity forceps or pelvic forceps, are a specialized type of obstetrical forceps used in childbirth to assist in the delivery of the baby when the baby's head has descended into the birth canal (pelvic outlet). These forceps are designed to provide traction and support during the final stages of labor when the baby's head is visible at the vaginal opening but not yet fully delivered.

The outlet forceps have a different shape compared to other types of obstetrical forceps, such as the Wrigley forceps or the Simpson forceps. They have a slightly curved shape with wider blades to accommodate the baby's head in the pelvic outlet. The design aims to minimize pressure on the baby's head and reduce the risk of injury during extraction.

The use of outlet forceps is generally considered when there is a delay in the second stage of labor (the pushing stage), or when the baby's heart rate shows signs of distress, indicating that a quick delivery is necessary. Additionally, outlet forceps might be employed if the mother is too exhausted to push effectively or if there are medical concerns that prevent a safe vaginal delivery without assistance.

It's crucial to highlight that the use of forceps in childbirth requires a highly skilled and experienced healthcare provider. Improper use of forceps can lead to potential risks and complications for both the baby and the mother. As with any obstetrical intervention, the decision to use outlet forceps should be carefully evaluated on a case-by-case basis, considering the specific medical needs and risks of each individual delivery.

In some cases, if the use of forceps is not recommended or not feasible, alternative methods such as vacuum extraction or cesarean section (C-section) may be considered to ensure a safe delivery for both the mother and the baby.
