Clinical Application
Designed for firm tissue purchase and controlled traction, this curved vulsellum is used primarily in gynecologic procedures requiring secure grasping of the cervix or uterine tissue. Common applications include cervical traction during dilation and curettage, exposure and manipulation in vaginal hysterectomy, IUD removal or replacement, and other procedures where a reliable toothed grip is required to control tough, slippery tissue.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft provides improved access and line-of-sight when working within the vaginal canal or deep pelvic cavity, reducing the need for instrument repositioning. A 3x3 tooth tip pattern delivers a firm, interlocking bite for secure traction of tissue without repeated adjustment. The 11 mm jaw width offers a substantial contact area to distribute force across the grasp while the 26 cm overall length gives reach for both vaginal and some abdominal approaches.
