An instrument is also disclosed for the rotation of the fetal head, comprising a pistol-grip handle, and a pedical terminating in a solid scoop, the latter presenting a pelvic curvature and a cephalic curvature, the axis of the tip of the scoop having a specific angular inclination relative to the longitudinal axis of the instrument.
