Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls

OB Forceps’ Strange History

11 Sep 2019

Description

Obstetrical forceps have a strange history: considered by historians to have been created by William Chamberlain, a French surgeon, the tool was kept a close family “secret” for well over a century! Eventually, the device and concept was sold by a destitute Chamberlain family member. William Smellie would then take this device to the masses. In this podcast, we provide a brief historical perspective on obstetrical forceps.
