Winter Placenta and Ovum Fcps str Fig.2, 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in obstetric and gynecologic procedures where controlled grasping and removal of soft intrauterine tissue is required. The instrument is intended for manual removal of the placenta and retained products of conception, retrieval of ovum or fetal tissue fragments, and for procedures that require atraumatic secure handling of membranes and friable tissue within the uterine cavity. Its length and jaw geometry help the operator reach and extract tissue with direct control while minimizing slippage.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft provides a direct line of access to the uterine cavity, facilitating reach and maneuverability in the third stage of labor or during operative evacuation. The Winter-style, Figure 2 jaw profile features broad, cupped surfaces that distribute pressure across a larger contact area to improve grip on soft, slippery tissue while reducing focal compression. The 28 cm overall length balances intracavitary reach with tactile feedback in the surgeon's hand for controlled traction and extraction.
