Abel Tenaculum Fcps 27cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide a secure point of purchase on cervical or soft tissue, this tenaculum is used for controlled traction and stabilization during gynecologic procedures such as IUD insertion, cervical biopsy, dilation & curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy setup, and other vaginal procedures requiring firm tissue control. The focused hook tip allows the operator to obtain a reliable grip for manipulation or exposure with minimal slipping; clinicians should be aware that tenacula are intended for firm, focal hold and may produce a small puncture or local bleeding at the grasp site.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handle design with a ratchet-locking mechanism enables sustained traction without continuous manual pressure, reducing operator fatigue and allowing precise tissue positioning. The 27 cm length provides extended reach for standard vaginal and low pelvic access while maintaining tactile control at the tip. The tenaculum hook geometry delivers focal purchase to resist slipping under traction, facilitating tasks that require steady alignment of the cervix or uterus.
