Numerous modifica-tions of this principle are in use to-day. A further advantage of Tamiers forcepsis found in the movable joints formed at the insertion of the traction rod intothe blades of the forceps, by virtue of which the blades are left free to followthe natural movements of thehead (Fig. 1221). Application.—The bladesof the Tarnier forceps are ap-plied like the ordinary instru-ment, the traction rods beinggrasped in the hand alongsideof the shank. The tractionhandle is then adjusted, andthe force of traction is exertedupon these handles with oneor both hands (Fig. 1223), thehandles proper of the instru-ment merely serving to indicatethe direction the traction istaking.
