Kiellands Forceps were popularised in the UK and Ireland after publication
of a monograph on their use by E Parry Jones of Liverpool, and later North
Wales.
People often forget they were used in patients under GA, and a lot
of traumatic deliveries were reported, and also severely damaged babies.
Parry Jones later advocated a forceps called Barton's Forceps, designed, I
think by an
American Engineer turned Gynaecologist called Barton. He believed these
were much more suitable where a GA was not given.
These had an almost right angled curve of the posterior blade, and a hinged
anterior blade, and were used with a traction rod. The handle was not used
at all during the delivery.
