Clinical Application
Vulsellum forceps are designed to provide secure purchase on dense or slippery tissue where firm traction or controlled extraction is required. This curved, toothed pattern is commonly used in gynecologic procedures for grasping the cervix, applying traction during uterine manipulation, and delivering placental tissue; it is also useful in general surgical settings for handling fascia or other tough soft tissues. The 3x3 tooth arrangement offers a reliable grip while allowing targeted control at the tissue interface.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft alters the approach angle so the jaws can engage tissue with improved line-of-sight and ergonomic access in confined operative fields. A 3x3 tooth tip concentrates contact points to reduce slip under traction, while a relatively narrow 9 mm jaw area allows precise placement without excessive bulk. The 26 cm overall length provides reach for deeper cavities without sacrificing tactile feedback and control at the handles.
