Clinical Application
Designed for obstetrics and gynecology procedures that require controlled retrieval of placental tissue, retained products of conception, or ovum. The instrument's length and forceps-style jaws enable reach into the uterine cavity during postpartum placenta removal, uterine evacuation procedures, or surgical cases where secure grasp and controlled extraction are required.
Design & Configuration
The straight, 28 cm shaft provides extended reach for transvaginal access while preserving tactile feedback and control. The Winter pattern (Figure 2) is a recognized forceps profile in OBGYN settings that balances secure purchase on tissue with an emphasis on minimizing slippage during traction. The straight geometry facilitates direct alignment with the uterine canal in common vaginal approaches and enables precise positioning in confined operative fields.
