Clinical Application
Designed for use in radical hysterectomy (Wertheim procedure) and adjacent pelvic dissection, this curved forceps provides secure grasping and traction of uterine tissue, ligaments and peri‑uterine fascia during open abdominal gynecologic surgery. The 1x2 tooth jaw pattern is intended to engage tissue with a focused bite for reliable control during ligation, retraction and blunt dissection while minimizing longitudinal slip.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft geometry improves access to the deep pelvis and allows the surgeon to reach around vascular structures and the uterine pedicle with better line-of-sight and ergonomic control. At 22 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach and tactile feedback for precise manipulation. The 1x2 tooth configuration provides an asymmetric bite—one tooth opposing two—to concentrate gripping force on a small surface area for firm purchase on dense connective tissue and ligatures without requiring excessive closure force.
