Tenaculum Forceps

Description

Tenaculum Forceps

These uterine tenaculum forceps follow a general pattern for grasping the cervix. They come straight and measure about 25 cm.

Uterine tenaculum forceps: an all-round pattern

This general design covers everyday needs without special features. So it makes a sensible default when you build a new tray from scratch. Then you can add named patterns later if your surgeons ask.

Mid-range length

About 25 cm gives comfortable reach through a speculum. Meanwhile, the hand stays clear of the operator’s view. Plus, it balances reach with control in the office and the operating room.

Common procedures

Clinicians grasp the cervix for IUD placement, sounding, dilation and endometrial biopsy. Then they apply gentle traction to straighten the canal. That way, the next instrument has a straighter path.

How it compares

Named patterns such as Pozzi and Museux have their own jaw styles. By contrast, these uterine tenaculum forceps keep to a plain general form. Choose them when your team has no fixed preference for a named pattern.

Reprocessing uterine tenaculum forceps

Clean between the jaw tips with a small brush after each case. Then check that the points still meet when closed. Store the instrument dry, clear of anything that could knock it out of line.
