Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled elevation and stabilization of the uterus during gynecologic procedures, these forceps allow the surgeon to obtain consistent traction and exposure of the uterus and cervix. Common uses include aiding uterine manipulation during vaginal and open abdominal gynecologic surgery, assisting exposure for uterine repair or excision, and providing traction during procedures where secure uterine control reduces instrument handoffs and improves visualization.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's holding and elevating jaw geometry concentrates contact where traction is required, helping to maintain a secure grip on the uterus while minimizing slippage. At 23 cm overall length the instrument provides sufficient reach into the pelvic cavity while keeping the operator's hands outside the field. The design balances secure tissue control with the ability to reposition and elevate the uterus for optimal surgical exposure.
