2. There is a wide range of instruments used in gynecological and obstetric procedures. Common instruments are used for examining the female reproductive system, collecting samples and performing surgical tasks. Many of these instruments are classified a disposables, which only allows the instruments to be used one time and then discarded.

3. Other instruments, especially those for surgical procedures, are made from stainless steel so they can be reused once they are sterilized. SpeculumA speculum is an instrument used to open body cavities. In gynecology, a speculum is used to open the cervix to check for signs of cancer or other abnormalities. This instrument can be made from plastic or metal.Uterine dilators may also be used to facilitate fertility treatments.

13. Colposcopy is a procedure used to examine the cervix, vagina and vulva tissues through a special magnifying device called a colposcope, which shines a light onto the vagina and cervix and enlarges the normal view by 2 to 60 times. This exam allows the doctor to find problems that cannot be seen by the eye alone.

14. A colposcopy is done when a Pap test result shows abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix. It enables the doctor to find about more about the abnormal cells and assess other problems, including: •Genital warts on the cervix • •Cervicitis (an inflamed cervix) • •Benign (not cancerous) growths, such as polyps • •Pain • •Bleeding • Sometimes a colposcopy may need to be done more than once. It also can be used to check the results of a treatment.

16. Obstetrical forceps Forceps are used to assist in labor and delivery

17. This invention relates to an umbilical cord cutting scissors for using one time only in which all portions except blade portion of scissors are replaced by plastic material, or blade portions as well but both blade edges are formed with saw teeth, and semispherical transparent plastic upper and lower container around the blade portions are formed thereof, so that splashing of blood from umbilical cord upon cutting it is prevented, and problem is solved in which umbilical cord is slipped and is not easily cut, and the umbilical cord can be cut hygienically while confirming correct portion of the umbilical cord to be cut off.

18. An obstetrical stethoscope is an instrument that allows healthcare practitioners to listen to the fetal heartbeat during antenatal exams.

19. This small, simple, conical device made of aluminum, beechwood is considered to be basic obstetrical equipment for use by MSF in the field, and is especially useful in resource-poor settings where ultrasound machines are unavailable. The practitioner simply places his or her ear on one end and the other on the abdomen of the pregnant woman to be able to monitor the heart rate of the fetus.

20. Belgian obstetrician Jean Baptist Van Huevel (1802-1883) designed this pelvimeter. It was made by instrument maker Collin of Paris. A pelvimeter measured the pelvic diameters of pregnant women. The opening of the handles allowed measurements to be read off a sliding scale. This was part of a scientific attempt to identify those women most likely to experience obstructed labour. The technique was known as pelvimetry.

21. It was developed during the late 1700s by Frenchman Jean Louis Baudelocque (1746-1810). This pelvimeter was originally part of an instrument collection belonging to amalgamated French companies Charrière, Collin and Gentile. It was sold in 1978.

22.  Embriotomy    gynecological operation whose purpose is the destruction of the fetus and its subsequent removal through the natural birth canal. One of the oldest of operations, it was widely performed until the late 19th century. Advances in the prevention of severe forms of gynecological pathology and the relative safety of cesarean section in contemporary practice have drastically reduced the number of cases in which embryotomy is indicated.

23. The operation is usually performed only on a dead fetus—in cases where the entire fetus cannot be extracted through the natural birth canal without seriously endangering the mother’s life. The choice of method (for example, craniotomy, which decreases the size of the fetus’ skull, or decapitation, in which the fetus’ head is separated from the trunk by means of Braun’s hook) is determined by such factors as the position of the fetus, the mother’s state, and the condition of the birth canal.
