MSF requirements

The Museux forceps has 2 x 2 teeth, whereas the Pozzi forceps is provided with 1 x 1 teeth only. That is why more bruises could be generated while using the Museux forceps. However, it has the advantage to have a better "grip" on the uterine cervix. The Pozzi forceps is less firm holdingwise and can cut a fragile uterine cervix, as it is held by 2 teeth only, which does not occur, or less, while using the Museux forceps. But in most cases, the Pozzi forceps, when correctly used, is less traumatizing.
