This teaching model shows forceps applied to a face presentation in dorso-anterior position. The instrument is applied transversally, with the blades placed on the sides of the head, on the cheeks, on the temples, and on the parietals. The blades face the chin, which, together with the base of the nose, is turned here toward the anterior half of the pelvic girdle. The model was commissioned by Giuseppe Galletti.
