Clinical Application
Designed for use in obstetric and gynecologic procedures, this curved placenta and ovum forceps facilitates controlled removal of the placenta and retrieval of retained products of conception from the uterine cavity or vaginal canal. It is routinely used during manual placental extraction, management of retained membranes, and in procedures requiring atraumatic grasping of soft tissue within the reproductive tract.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft follows the uterine axis to improve access and line-of-sight during vaginal procedures, permitting the surgeon to reach and engage placental tissue with improved angulation while minimizing disruptive manipulation. The jaw geometry is configured to provide a secure grip on soft placental tissue and membranes without excessive compressive force, enabling controlled extraction. The 27 cm overall length supplies sufficient working reach for intrauterine work while remaining manageable in confined operative fields.
