Clinical Application
This instrument is designed to provide secure traction on the cervix and uterine tissue during a range of gynecologic procedures. It is commonly used for grasping the cervix to apply traction and counter‑traction during dilation and curettage (D&C), IUD placement or removal, cervical cerclage, hysteroscopy setup, and other minor to major gynecologic surgeries where firm control of the cervix or uterus is required.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft geometry gives a direct line of pull that facilitates controlled traction without angulation, which is helpful when negotiating the vaginal canal or when working under visualization with speculum or hysteroscopic equipment. The 2x2 tooth jaw pattern provides a positive grip on cervical tissue to minimize slippage when applying traction. Ring handles with a locking ratchet permit the assistant or surgeon to maintain steady traction hands‑free, improving operative ergonomics and control.
