Obstetrical Chain, circa 1930
01
Artifact Overview
Many large, domesticated animals (cows, horses, and hogs, for example) give birth naturally without assistance. However, veterinarians may intervene if the animal is having difficulty or if a calf (cow) or foal (horse) or piglet (hog) is stillborn. Obstetrical chains help assist during these complicated births.
