Clinical Application
This straight vulsellum forceps is designed to provide secure grasping and controlled traction of soft tissue and mucosa. The 2x2 tooth tip offers dependable purchase on cervix, uterine tissue, fascia, or other firm soft tissues where precise traction and minimal slippage are required. Common uses include gynecologic procedures (e.g., cervix or uterine manipulation during D&C, vaginal procedures), and general surgical situations requiring firm tissue control.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft provides a direct line of action for forward traction and reduces the need to rotate the instrument in confined working spaces. The 2x2 tooth arrangement concentrates holding force through paired opposing teeth to maximize grip while limiting excessive tissue tearing. An 8 mm jaw width balances contact area and penetration depth to distribute pressure and reduce focal crush at the grasp point. At 24 cm overall length, this instrument delivers extended reach for both open and vaginal approaches where greater working distance is needed.
