Obstetrical Forceps, circa 1920
01
Artifact Overview
Many domesticated farm animals (such as hogs, sheep, or goats) give birth naturally without assistance. Veterinarians, however, may intervene if the fetus is not in the correct position, or the mother is having difficulty. Veterinarians may use obstetrical forceps to rotate the fetus or help guide it through the birth canal.
