Clinical Application
Vulsellum forceps with a 3x3 tooth configuration provide a secure, positive grip on soft tissue and organ surfaces. This instrument is commonly used in obstetrics and gynecology for traction of the cervix, uterus, and placenta, and for controlled grasping of mucosal or soft fascial tissue during vaginal or abdominal procedures. The 9 mm jaw width and 3x3 teeth deliver firm purchase with minimized slippage, useful when applying controlled traction or repositioning tissue intraoperatively.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft and 26 cm working length offer a balance of reach and surgeon control for both vaginal and open abdominal approaches. A 3x3 tooth tip concentrates holding force at discrete contact points to reduce tissue slippage while limiting crush area compared with broader fenestrations. The B/J pattern designation identifies the specific Museux configuration, facilitating consistent selection when matching instrument sets or replacements.
