Skene Tenaculum Forceps

Description

Skene Tenaculum Forceps

Surgeons use the Skene tenaculum to hold the cervix still during examination and minor procedures. It measures about 23 cm from end to end.

A named pattern

Some surgeons specify the Skene design on their preference cards. So we stock it for teams that want a direct match. Also, it fits alongside other tenacula in a general set.

Length and handling

About 23 cm offers middle-range reach between our short and long tenacula. Therefore, it suits both office and operating room use. Meanwhile, the hand stays comfortably outside the vaginal opening.

Supporting other steps

A steady cervix makes sounding and dilation more controlled. Then the clinician can guide instruments along the canal. Plus, gentle traction can reduce the angle between cervix and uterus.

How it fits your trays

Pair it with a sound and a graduated set of dilators on the tray. Next, add the Skene tenaculum to your standard D&C layout. That way, the full sequence sits in one place and the team works in order.

Reprocessing Skene tenaculum

Keep the tips moist with an enzyme spray if cleaning must wait. Next, wash, rinse and dry the forceps completely. Store them clear of heavier items so the points stay aligned.
