Pratt Vulsellum Fcps 28cm

Clinical Application

Pratt vulsellum forceps are intended to provide secure purchase on the cervix, uterine fundus or other soft tissues during gynecologic and obstetric procedures. The toothed jaws are optimized for firm, controlled traction and manipulation during procedures such as dilation and curettage, intrauterine device removal, uterine repositioning, vaginal hysterectomy, and other cases where a reliable grip on soft tissue is required. The design favors temporary traction and controlled manipulation rather than delicate tissue dissection.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handle, box-lock geometry gives precise tactile feedback and secure mechanical advantage for controlled closure. A locking (ratchet) mechanism enables sustained traction without continuous manual pressure, which is useful during exposure, suturing or while other instruments are in use. The 28 cm overall length balances reach into the vaginal canal with operator control, allowing access while maintaining ergonomic hand positioning. The vulsellum-style toothed jaws provide a positive bite to minimize slippage on slippery or mobile tissues.
