Clinical Application
Designed to provide secure purchase and controlled traction of soft tissue, particularly in gynecologic procedures. Common uses include grasping and stabilizing the cervix during IUD placement, dilation & curettage, colposcopy, hysteroscopy setup, and other procedures requiring reliable tissue control. The hook tip also permits targeted grasp of small vessels or mobile soft tissues in select general surgical tasks.
Design & Configuration
The hooked tenaculum tip provides a focused point of engagement for firm, slip-resistant purchase on soft tissue. The 27 cm overall length increases reach and working distance, useful when deeper access or extended control is required. The hand-held forceps geometry delivers tactile feedback and allows precise traction and positioning; the jaw profile concentrates holding force at the hook to reduce the need for repeated re-grasping.
