Clinical Application
Curved ovum forceps are used to grasp and retrieve tissue and small specimens from the uterine cavity and adjacent pelvic spaces during gynecologic and select obstetric procedures. This instrument is suitable for controlled extraction of retained products, tissue sampling, and specimen retrieval where precise reach and secure purchase are required.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry provides an angled approach that improves access to the uterine cavity and difficult-to-reach anatomical angles while maintaining a line of sight for the operator. At 24 cm overall length, the instrument offers extended reach for intrauterine work without sacrificing tactile feedback. The forceps configuration supplies a firm hold on tissue to minimize slippage during extraction and transfer to specimen containers.
