Clinical Application
Designed to provide a secure purchase on firm soft tissue, this vulsellum is typically used to grasp the cervix, uterus, fascia or other dense tissue where controlled traction is required. The 3x3 tooth tip offers positive engagement for tissue manipulation during gynecologic procedures (e.g., cervical traction during dilation, uterine manipulation during minimally invasive or open cases) and selected general surgical applications where a firm, non-slip grip is necessary.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft and 26 cm working length provide extended reach for intra-abdominal or pelvic access while maintaining tactile feedback at the jaws. The 3x3 tooth arrangement concentrates contact points to minimize slippage and enable secure traction; a 9 mm tip width balances tissue purchase with limited lateral bulk, helping visualization in the operative field. Straight geometry is useful when a direct line of traction is preferred and when working in shallow or mid-depth operative cavities.
