Teale Vulsellum Fcps S/J 18cm

Clinical Application

A vulsellum forceps designed to provide a reliable, atraumatic-to-tissue hold on firm soft structures. Commonly used in gynecologic procedures for grasping the cervix, providing traction during uterine manipulation and placental delivery, and in general surgery when secure tissue control is required for exposure or extraction. The instrument's 18 cm length offers reach for vaginal and abdominal approaches while maintaining tactile control for controlled traction.

Design & Configuration

The Teale vulsellum features toothed jaws engineered to engage tissue firmly to prevent slippage during traction. The S/J designation identifies the specific shank-to-jaw geometry of this model, optimized to balance reach, visibility, and handling ergonomics for both vaginal and open procedures. The forceps’ length and jaw configuration allow the operator to apply steady, directional force with direct tactile feedback, improving control during tissue delivery or retraction.
