Clinical Application
Designed for gentle, controlled engagement of the fallopian tube in gynecologic procedures where traction, mobilization, or orientation of the tube is required. Commonly used during tubal ligation, salpingostomy, exploration for ectopic pregnancy, and other procedures that require atraumatic handling of delicate tubal tissue. The hooked tip allows the surgeon to draw or elevate the tube without compressive grasping that can distort luminal anatomy.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's single‑ended hooked geometry provides a narrow profile and precise contact point, enabling access in the confined pelvic field and under minimal exposure. The hook configuration permits one-handed engagement and controlled traction along the tube's mesosalpinx axis, reducing the need for pinching or clamping. The slender shaft and angled tip improve visualization of the fimbrial end and facilitate passing sutures or ligatures around the tube.
