In recent years, there has been an increasing and widespread use of the aseptic material. It is accepted by surgeons, gynecologists during operations, it is accepted by obstetricians during childbirth and during obstetric operations. At the same time, the extraction of sterilized water is of great importance, which, in some operations, requires a large amount. Surgeons try to work without irrigation, according to the so-called dry method (Laderér'a), in which the separation from the wound is removed with sterilized cotton balls.

Since the invention of obstetric forceps by Chamberlen and Palfyn, this instrument has undergone numerous modifications. Due to the different arrangement of the individual parts of the instrument and their various combinations, the number of varieties has increased greatly and reached 300 too. However, this diversity is only apparent. Leaving aside the various details of the device and secondary features that are not of great importance for the essence of the heart, we half-mean only a few types of forceps, differing mainly in the curvature of the spoons, in the structure of the lock, in the mutual relation of the two (intersecting and parallel). Each of these types has its own advantages.
