IUD Extractor Hook 26cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to assist clinicians in the removal and retrieval of intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs). The extractor hook provides a controlled means to engage an IUD frame or accessible strings when standard string traction is insufficient or when the device has partially detached. It is intended for use under speculum visualization and appropriate cervical manipulation in outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, or operating rooms.

Design & Configuration

The long, slender 26 cm shaft offers sufficient reach from the external genitalia to the uterine cavity without excessive bulk, helping minimize the need for additional cervical dilation. The distal hook geometry enables secure engagement of the IUD body or strings so that controlled, axial traction can be applied during retrieval. The slim profile facilitates passage through an established cervical canal while maintaining tactile feedback to the operator during extraction maneuvers.
