Tenaculum Forceps
Tenaculum forceps hold the cervix steady and allow gentle traction during gynecological procedures. Medfort makes a full range of single-tooth and multi-tooth patterns (codes SI-100601 to SI-100620).
Where they are used
They are used for IUD insertion, endometrial biopsy, D&C, hysteroscopy, colposcopy and vaginal surgery.
Our range
- Single and multi tooth: Pozzi-type, Schroeder, Skene, Braun, Czerny and Pratt
- Museux and Jacobs: 2x2 teeth for a firmer hold
- Others: Teale 3x4 teeth, Iowa and Beacham
Material and finish
All instruments in this category are made from surgical grade stainless steel to AISI, ASTM and DIN standards, imported from Germany, Japan and France. Each piece is heat-treated to the right hardness for its job, then polished to a satin finish that reduces glare under theatre lights. Joints are fitted by hand so they move smoothly without play, and every instrument is checked before it is packed.
How to choose
Single-tooth forceps such as Pozzi and Schroeder are standard for IUD insertion and minor procedures. Multi-tooth forceps such as Museux, Jacobs and Teale spread the grip over more tissue, which is useful for stronger traction in D&C and vaginal surgery. Choose a longer length for deeper access.
Quality control
Every Medfort instrument passes several checks before it leaves our workshop. We check the hardness after heat treatment, inspect jaws, teeth and serrations for correct alignment, test that ratchets lock and release smoothly, and look for any surface defects. Finished instruments are passivated to improve corrosion resistance, then cleaned, marked and packed.
Building a complete set
Instruments in this category are often ordered together with related instruments to make a complete procedure set. Tell us the operations you perform and the instruments you already have, and we will suggest the patterns, lengths and quantities that complete your set. Sets can be supplied loose, on trays or in stainless steel boxes.
Care and sterilization
Rinse instruments straight after use so blood and tissue do not dry on. Open all joints, then clean them by hand or in a washer-disinfector with a neutral pH detergent. Rinse, dry thoroughly and lubricate hinges with instrument milk. All items are suitable for standard steam sterilization (autoclave). Inspect them regularly, and repair or replace any that are worn or damaged.
Ordering and custom sizes
You can order single instruments, mixed quantities or complete sets, and we supply hospitals, clinics, distributors and government tenders. If you need a pattern, length or size that is not listed, send us a drawing, a sample or a catalogue reference and we will quote for it. We also offer OEM and private label manufacturing, with your logo laser-etched on the instrument and your own packaging. Please contact us for prices, delivery times and shipping to your country.
