    Question

    During a cesarean section, Green Armytage forceps are used primarily for:

    A.

    Clamping the uterine incision edges to control bleeding

    B.

    Grasping cervix for dilation and curettage

    C.

    Holding the umbilical cord during delivery

    D.

    Applying traction on the fetal head

    Correct option is A

    Green Armytage forceps are broad, flat, and atraumatic instruments. They are specially designed to clamp bleeding uterine incision edges during cesarean section and assist in suturing.
    Explanation of options: (a) ✔ Correct; their flat design allows atraumatic clamping of uterine edges. (b) ✘ Cervix is held with tenaculum or vulsellum, not Green Armytage. (c) ✘ Cord is clamped with artery forceps or cord clamp, not this instrument. (d) ✘ Fetal head traction is done with obstetric forceps or vacuum, not Green Armytage.
