Clinical Application
Used to manipulate and stabilize the uterus during gynecologic procedures, the depressor provides controlled caudal or anterior traction to facilitate exposure of the cervix, uterine fundus and adnexal structures. Common applications include vaginal surgery, examination under anesthesia, preparatory uterine positioning for hysteroscopy or curettage, and intraoperative uterine retraction to improve visualization during pelvic procedures.
Design & Configuration
The straight, hand-held geometry with a broad contacting surface allows an assistant or surgeon to apply distributed pressure across the uterine fundus or posterior surface without focal point loading. The 28 cm working length gives added reach for transvaginal access while maintaining tactile control. A single-ended paddle design simplifies orientation in confined surgical fields and facilitates rapid repositioning during procedures.
