A uterine tenaculum is a surgical tool designed to hold and stabilize uterine tissue during procedures like hysterectomies, D&Cs, or cervical biopsies. Its hooked, self-retaining design allows precise manipulation of the cervix or uterus while minimizing hand fatigue for the surgeon.
These devices are typically reusable, made from durable stainless steel, and come in multiple sizes to accommodate different clinical needs. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified as surgical instruments subject to strict manufacturing and sterilization standards.
