An episiotomy set is a collection of surgical instruments, primarily including specialized scissors and forceps, used by healthcare professionals to perform a controlled, precise incision of the perineum and vaginal wall during the second stage of labor. It facilitates childbirth, prevents severe uncontrolled tearing, and aids in instrumental deliveries (forceps/vacuum).

Controlled Incision:

Episiotomy scissors are used to make a precise cut in the perineum to widen the vaginal opening.

Facilitating Difficult Deliveries:

Used to create space during complicated vaginal deliveries, such as when the fetus is in a breech position or experiencing shoulder dystocia.

Instrumental Delivery Assistance:

Used during forceps-assisted or vacuum-assisted deliveries to prevent severe, uncontrolled, or jagged tears.

Reduced Trauma & Better Healing:

Compared to natural tears, a surgical incision made with this set is often easier to repair and may heal better.
