Clinical Application
Designed for secure atraumatic-to-moderate gripping of soft tissue, this vulsellum is used to grasp the cervix, uterine tissue or placenta during gynecologic and obstetric procedures including dilation & curettage, cesarean delivery, uterine traction during hysterectomy and vaginal procedures where controlled traction or extraction is required. The 2x2 tooth pattern provides a focused, positive hold suitable for tissues that require firm purchase without wide crushing.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft and 24 cm length provide extended reach and a direct line of pull for abdominal and vaginal approaches. A 10 mm tip width concentrates bite force within the 2x2 tooth configuration to minimize slippage while enabling precise manipulation. This geometry favors controlled traction and exposure; however, users should apply graded force to avoid unnecessary tissue trauma where delicate handling is indicated.
