Schroeder Tenaculum Fcps S/J 25cm

Clinical Application

This Schroeder tenaculum is intended to provide firm, controlled purchase of the cervix or other mobile soft tissue during gynecologic and obstetric procedures. Common uses include providing traction for IUD placement, dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy, colposcopy and other procedures that require stable manipulation of the cervix or uterine fundus. The hooked tips enable reliable fixation for retraction and exposure; users should anticipate localized tissue puncture and manage traction accordingly to minimize bleeding and tissue trauma.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a Schroeder-style hooked beak designed to engage and hold slippery or mobile tissue securely. Ring handles with a ratchet lock permit the surgeon to apply and maintain consistent traction without continuous manual pressure. The 25 cm overall length offers extended reach for pelvic procedures while maintaining tactile control at the handles. The box-lock joint provides reliable alignment of the jaws for repeatable tip engagement.
