Heywood Smith Ovum Fcps 25.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for gynecologic use, this ovum forceps is intended to grasp and manipulate delicate ovarian tissue, ova, and other soft tissues encountered during vaginal and open gynecologic procedures. The ovum-style cups distribute contact pressure to reduce focal trauma, making the instrument suitable for tissue handling where atraumatic grip is important during dissection, exposure, or specimen retrieval.

Design & Configuration

The ovum cup geometry centralizes contact across a rounded oval surface to minimize tissue crushing while maintaining a secure hold. A 25.5 cm overall length provides reach from the surgeon’s hand into the pelvic cavity during vaginal or open approaches without excess shaft bulk. The handheld design delivers direct tactile feedback and precise control for fine manipulations in confined operative fields.
