It's not a Tarnier. The global shape looks like it but the tractor is missing. Or it's an early shape of the thing. The other device may be a Braun's (sic) hook (or decapitator). Have you got a name of manufacurer on those devices?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
