Description
A delivery set, also known as an obstetric instrument pack, is a collection of essential surgical instruments used by healthcare providers during childbirth.
At Fern Medical Supplies, we supply complete delivery instrument packs designed for maternity wards, labour rooms, and obstetric units across Uganda.
These packs ensure that doctors and midwives have all the necessary tools ready for safe delivery procedures.
The delivery set usually contains carefully selected instruments required during normal vaginal delivery and immediate post-delivery care.
These tools help healthcare providers assist childbirth, clamp and cut the umbilical cord, manage the placenta, and perform necessary procedures after the baby is born. Having a well-prepared delivery set allows the maternity team to work efficiently without delays during labour.
In Ugandan hospitals and maternity clinics, delivery instrument packs are used daily in labour wards where multiple births may occur within a short period.
When a mother enters active labour, the medical team prepares a sterile delivery pack containing instruments such as umbilical cord clamps, scissors, artery forceps, sponge holding forceps, and kidney dishes. These instruments support safe childbirth practices and ensure the delivery environment remains sterile.
At Fern Medical Supplies, we provide high quality stainless steel delivery sets that can withstand repeated sterilization and long-term use. Each instrument pack contains durable medical-grade tools designed to meet clinical standards.
In Uganda, a complete delivery set typically costs between UGX 450,000 and UGX 1,500,000, depending on the number of instruments included and the overall quality of the set.
A delivery instrument pack works as a ready-to-use sterile kit that healthcare providers open when labour reaches the delivery stage. The instruments inside the pack are sterilized in an autoclave and stored in sterile packaging until needed. This ensures that all tools remain free from contamination before use.
When the baby’s head begins to crown during labour, the midwife or obstetrician opens the sterile delivery pack. The instruments inside are then arranged on a sterile tray within the delivery area. Each instrument serves a specific function during the childbirth process.
For example, artery forceps may be used to clamp the umbilical cord temporarily, while umbilical cord scissors help cut the cord safely after the baby is delivered. Sponge holding forceps assist in handling sterile gauze used to clean the perineal area or control bleeding.
After the baby and placenta are delivered, the instruments may also be used for procedures such as suturing minor tears or cleaning the delivery area.
After the delivery procedure is complete, the instruments are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized again using an autoclave before being repacked for the next use.

A delivery instrument pack is one of the most important equipment sets in any maternity ward or obstetric unit. Childbirth requires several instruments that must be sterile, reliable, and immediately available.
Without a properly prepared delivery set, healthcare providers may face delays during critical moments of labour.
In Uganda, many maternity wards handle multiple deliveries each day. Having complete delivery packs ready ensures that midwives and doctors can respond quickly when labour progresses to the delivery stage. This improves efficiency and supports safe childbirth practices.
The delivery set also supports infection prevention and control (IPC) in maternity care. Sterile instruments help reduce the risk of infections for both the mother and the newborn baby.
Properly sterilized tools ensure that procedures such as cord cutting, perineal repair, and postpartum care are conducted safely.
District hospitals and health centres also rely on delivery instrument packs to manage normal vaginal deliveries. These facilities often serve large populations where maternity services are essential.
Having dependable delivery sets ensures that healthcare providers can deliver babies safely even in busy clinical environments.
Private maternity clinics also benefit from using well-prepared delivery packs. Organized instrument kits help clinicians work confidently and maintain professional standards during childbirth.
Mothers and their families gain reassurance when they see that the facility is properly equipped for safe delivery.
At Fern Medical Supplies, we support maternity services across Uganda by providing durable delivery instrument packs that meet clinical standards.
Our delivery sets help healthcare professionals perform childbirth procedures safely while maintaining sterile conditions.
