Sklar Dartigues Uterine Elevating Forceps, Straight
A 10-1/2 inch straight forceps used by gynaecologic surgeons to grasp and improve the uterus during vaginal and abdominal gynaecological procedures.
The Sklar Dartigues Uterine Elevating Forceps is a gynaecological surgical instrument designed to grasp and improve the uterus, giving the surgeon improved access and visibility during vaginal and abdominal gynaecological procedures. Measuring 10-1/2 inches overall with a straight profile, it is built to provide a secure hold on uterine tissue while the surgeon works around it, which is particularly useful during hysterectomy and other procedures requiring uterine manipulation.
This instrument is used by gynaecologic surgeons and obstetricians in hospital operating theatres performing scheduled gynaecological surgery. Its straight design suits direct approaches where the surgeon needs a stable line of traction on the uterus rather than an angled application. As with other specialised gynaecological forceps, it is typically included as part of a dedicated hysterectomy or gynaecological instrument tray alongside clamps, retractors and needle holders used in the same procedure.
Facilities equipping a gynaecology theatre or expanding their obstetric and gynaecological instrument inventory can add this forceps as a purpose-built uterine elevation tool.
