Clinical Application
Vulsellum forceps with a curved shaft and a 6 mm toothed tip are used to obtain a firm, atraumatic purchase on soft tissues where secure traction is required. Common applications include grasping the cervix or uterine tissue during gynecologic procedures, facilitating placental removal, and providing controlled traction during vaginal surgery or dilatation and curettage. The concentrated toothed tip helps maintain grip on slippery or bloody tissue planes, reducing the need for frequent repositioning.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry provides improved approach angles for accessing deep pelvic and vaginal spaces while keeping the surgeon’s hands clear of the operative field. A relatively narrow 6 mm vulsellum tip concentrates clamping force into a small contact area to maximize purchase on soft tissue without excessive instrument bulk. The 24 cm shaft length balances reach and control, enabling both intra-abdominal and vaginal manipulation where additional length is beneficial.
