Iowa Vulsellum Fcps 26cm

Clinical Application

Provides secure atraumatic traction and control when engaging the cervix or uterine tissue during gynecologic and minor obstetric procedures. Common uses include traction during dilation and curettage (D&C), manipulation or stabilization of the cervix for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, removal of intrauterine devices, and vaginal procedures where a firm, non-slip hold is required.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handle geometry with ratchet lock allows the operator to maintain consistent, controlled traction without continuous manual pressure. The vulsellum-style fenestrated, toothed jaws are designed to bite slightly into tissue for a secure hold and to reduce slippage when traction or rotational control is necessary. At 26 cm overall length, the configuration balances working reach with tactile control for transvaginal access.
