George Thompson Elliot (1827-1881), an American obstetrician, based the design of his forceps on that of the Simpson long forceps. The main characteristic distinguishing the two types is the locking device. The first device consists of a sliding pivot, which can be moved along a groove in the handle. The second device is a long screw in one handle, which extends into the second blade. These devices allowed the operator to fix the amount of pressure and compression of the fetal head.

- Description:
- This is an instrument for removing a fetus. Hippolyte Blot of Paris designed this perforator for obstructed labor. The points of the blade are like diamond shaped spears. The spring-loaded handle of these perforators facilitates one handed use. After the fetus is perforated, compressing the handle engages the spring, which allows the blades to open and enlarge the perforation.

- Description:
- This instrument has a single angled hook on the end, which when placed around the neck of the fetus and twisted, succeeded in severing the head. These types of instruments were used when the fetus was already dead and the mother's condition was critical. This instrument might also have been used to remove tumors.

- Description:
- A pair of Elliot forceps, of which include both types of locking devices credited to Elliot. George Thompson Elliot (1827-1881), an American obstetrician, based the design of his forceps on that of Simpson long forceps. The main characteristic distinguishing the two types is the locking device. The first device consists of a sliding pivot, which can be moved along a groove in the handle. The second device is a long screw in one handle, which extends into the second blade. These devices allowed the operator to fix the amount of pressure and compression of the fetal head. #8 is stamped on the inside of one handle. An old label reads "Elliot 1858".
