Sklar Bumm Uterine Forceps, 11 Inch
An 11 inch gynaecological forceps used to grasp and steady uterine tissue during dilation and curettage and other gynaecological procedures in theatre.
The Sklar Bumm Uterine Forceps is a gynaecological instrument measuring eleven inches, used to grasp and steady the uterus or uterine tissue during procedures such as dilation and curettage, polyp removal and other intrauterine work. Its length allows the surgeon to reach through the vaginal canal and cervix to the uterine cavity while keeping the handle accessible outside the patient.
Forceps of this pattern typically feature jaws designed to hold tissue securely without excessive trauma, letting the gynaecologist maintain gentle traction or positioning throughout the procedure. This instrument is used by obstetricians and gynaecologists in hospital operating theatres and outpatient procedure rooms wherever intrauterine access is required.
It is generally kept as part of a standard gynaecological instrument tray alongside specula, curettes and tenacula, and like the rest of that tray it is cleaned, sterilised and inspected between each patient use to maintain a safe standard of care across a busy gynaecology list.
