Are all Thierry’s spatulas the same? A simulation study comparing various available models
Thierry's spatulas models exhibit biomechanical differences, with the original design applying the least traction force. Experience influences instrument performance, highlighting the importance of proper training. Clinicians should be aware of model-specific differences when selecting Thierry's spatulas for operative births.
