Clinical Application
Designed for obstetrics and gynecology procedures that require controlled, atraumatic grasping and removal of placental tissue or fetal membranes. The curved geometry and dedicated placenta/ovum jaw profile facilitate secure engagement of soft, slippery tissue within the uterine cavity during manual removal of placenta, evacuation of products of conception, and related uterine cavity procedures.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft provides an improved approach angle for access to the uterine fundus and posterior cavity while maintaining visibility and surgeon control. The Fig. 1 placenta/ovum jaw configuration provides a cupped or fenestrated contact surface to cradle tissue securely with minimal crushing force. The length supports reach into the uterine cavity and through the cervical canal while preserving handle ergonomics for single-handed manipulation and controlled extraction.
