Extraction instrumentale par spatules de Thierry

We found that perineal tear rate is similar to that observed with other instruments used for fetal extraction. No case of fetal trauma could be related to the use of the spatulas; this was the goal of Thierry who creation the instrument. The use of Thierry's spatulas as a reference instrument is warranted, particularly for cases of prematurity, as these spatulas fulfil the modern obstetrics requirements of fetal protection, without maternal risk.
