Clinical Application
Used to obtain secure purchase on leiomyomas (uterine fibroids) during open abdominal myomectomy and other abdominal procedures where controlled traction of a firm mass is required. The screw tip is advanced into the myoma to provide a stable anchor point for traction and counter-traction, improving exposure of the fibroid capsule and facilitating blunt and sharp dissection during enucleation.
Design & Configuration
The T-handle provides direct manual control and torque for precise insertion and removal of the screw tip, allowing the surgeon to apply steady, controlled traction without relying on additional clamps. The 17 cm overall length offers working reach into the abdominal cavity while keeping the handle accessible at the operative field. The threaded screw geometry concentrates purchase into the myoma tissue to reduce slippage during manipulation.
