What do embryotomy scissors do?

Embryotomy scissors are specialized surgical instruments used in obstetrics for the delivery of a fetus that is unable to be delivered vaginally due to complications, such as fetal malpresentation or intrauterine death. They are designed to cut through the fetal tissues and bones to facilitate extraction. The scissors help reduce the size of the fetus, making it easier to remove from the birth canal, while also minimizing trauma to the mother. Their use is typically considered a last resort when other delivery methods are not viable.
