Clinical Application
Designed for gynecologic use, this curved Schroeder vulsellum provides secure purchase on the cervix and uterine tissue for traction and stabilization. It is commonly used during procedures requiring controlled manipulation of the cervix or uterus—such as dilation & curettage, cervical biopsy, hysteroscopy setup, and uterine traction during gynecologic surgery—where a firm, atraumatic grasp and reliable control are required.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft allows an oblique approach to the cervix and vaginal canal, improving line-of-sight and instrument access in the operative field. The 2x2 tooth tip pattern offers concentrated points of purchase to minimize slippage on tough or slick tissue. Ring handles with a locking ratchet (standard on vulsellum forceps) permit sustained traction without continuous manual force, enabling the assistant or surgeon to maintain stable exposure while performing instrumentation or tissue removal. Clinically, this geometry balances grip strength with precise control; operators should be aware that toothed jaws produce a stronger hold than smooth forceps and should be used with appropriate care to limit tissue trauma.
