Clinical Application
Designed to provide firm, reliable purchase on soft tissue, this tenaculum is used primarily in gynecologic procedures for cervical traction and stabilization during IUD placement, hysteroscopy, dilation and curettage, and minor operative procedures. The sharp hook tip allows secure engagement of the cervix or other small, mobile tissues when a controlled, non-atraumatic alternative would not provide sufficient hold.
Design & Configuration
Ring handles with a ratchet lock permit incremental adjustment of grip pressure and secure holding without continuous manual force. The 25 cm overall length increases reach and working distance, beneficial in deeper pelvic access or when additional separation between operator hands and the surgical field is preferred. The tenaculum-style hook provides a focal point of contact for direct tissue control; this design is intended to produce a stable hold rather than atraumatic tissue handling, which is important for procedures that require precise traction or manipulation.
