Clinical Application
Designed to provide secure traction and controlled manipulation of soft tissues, this Teale vulsellum forceps is commonly used in gynecologic procedures (for cervical traction and uterine handling), general surgery, and procedures requiring firm purchase on mucosa or friable tissue. The vulsellum jaw configuration allows the operator to maintain placement during repositioning, suturing, or specimen delivery where a reliable grip is required.
Design & Configuration
Ring handles with a ratchet locking mechanism permit one-handed clamping and sustained traction without continuous manual pressure. The 25 cm overall length offers increased reach into deeper surgical fields while preserving tactile control at the handles. The vulsellum-style jaws are configured to engage and retain tissue securely, minimizing slippage during traction and manipulation. This combination of length, locking, and jaw geometry supports controlled exposure and tissue stabilization in confined operative sites.
