Pozzi Tenaculum Fcps S/J 25cm

Clinical Application

This Pozzi tenaculum is designed to provide firm purchase on the cervical lip for traction and stabilization during gynecologic procedures. Common uses include cervical manipulation for intrauterine device (IUD) placement, uterine sounding, dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy, and other outpatient or operating-room procedures requiring secure control of the cervix. Because the Pozzi-style hook engages tissue more firmly than atraumatic forceps, clinicians should anticipate local bleeding and consider topical or paracervical anesthesia where appropriate.

Design & Configuration

The Pozzi hook geometry concentrates force at a small, pointed tip to deliver reliable purchase on the cervical rim, which aids controlled traction and rotational maneuvering of the uterus. The 25 cm shaft provides extended reach for ease of handling in both office and OR settings. Ring handles with a ratchet-lock allow the instrument to maintain steady traction without continuous manual compression, freeing hands for concurrent tasks such as uterine sounding or device insertion.
