Physical description
Set of metal ovum forceps. The instrument loosely resembles a pair of scissors, with two arms joined by a pin at the middle. Each arm is topped by a circular finger grip handle, and the top section of the arms, just below the handles, are bowed. The arms cross over each other both before and after the pin at centre. The end of each arm curves upwards and broadens into a hollow elongated teardrop shape, with the centre of each end cut out to form a teardrop shaped loop at the end of both arms.
