Clinical Application
Designed for controlled grasping and retrieval of ova, small ovarian tissue fragments and other delicate specimens encountered in gynecologic and reproductive procedures. The instrument's 14 mm jaw offers a moderate contact surface suitable for engaging soft, slippery tissue while the coarse-threaded jaw profile improves purchase on wet surfaces and mucosa. Typical uses include open and vaginal gynecologic procedures, reproductive surgery and any setting where a dependable, firm grip is required during tissue handling or specimen transfer.
Design & Configuration
The ring-handle design with ratchet closure provides precise control over jaw apposition and holding force, allowing fine modulation of grip without continuous manual pressure. The coarse-threaded (coarse serration) jaws deliver positive traction on slippery or friable tissue, reducing slippage during manipulation. At 28 cm overall length, the geometry gives extended reach into the pelvic cavity and vaginal canal while maintaining tactile feedback and control at the handles. The 14 mm jaw width balances surface contact and focused grip to minimize tissue trauma while securing specimens.
