Jacobs Vulsellum Fcps str 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for firm, atraumatic-to-controlled grasping of dense soft tissue, this vulsellum-style forceps is commonly used for uterine traction, placental removal, and manipulation of the cervix or other bulky tissue during gynecologic and obstetric procedures. Its toothed locking jaws provide a secure hold on slippery or tough tissue where sustained traction or retraction is required, reducing the need for repeated repositioning during vaginal procedures, hysterectomy, or delivery-related interventions.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft and 21 cm length offer direct access and tactile control in vaginal and open procedures, while keeping the surgeon’s hand clear of the operative field. The vulsellum-style jaws use interlocking teeth to concentrate gripping force on a small area for reliable purchase on dense tissue. A ratcheted locking mechanism maintains occlusion without continuous hand pressure, allowing one-handed retraction and freeing an assistant for other tasks. The box-lock hinge provides stability and long-term durability under repeated use.
