The Pratt Tenaculum Forceps 28cm are specialized gynecological forceps designed for controlled grasping, stabilization, and traction of the cervix or uterus during appropriate surgical and procedural applications. Their extended 28 cm length provides working reach for deeper pelvic access, while the multi-tooth jaw configuration offers a dedicated alternative to single-tooth tenaculum designs.

The current Peak Surgicals model is identified as SKU PS-GS-0018 and features a 4 × 4 tooth jaw pattern, box/screw joint, and ratchet locking mechanism. The product is intended for professional gynecological and obstetric instrument sets requiring a long tenaculum or vulsellum-style forceps.

28cm / 11-Inch Overall Length

The Pratt Tenaculum Forceps have a confirmed overall length of 28 cm (11 inches). This extended profile provides working reach for gynecological procedures where the cervix or uterus must be accessed and stabilized within the pelvic operative field.

The 28 cm overall length is an important purchasing specification when distinguishing this Pratt pattern from shorter tenaculum forceps.

4 × 4 Toothed Jaw Design

The current Peak Surgicals listing specifies a 4 × 4 tooth configuration, with four prongs positioned on each opposing jaw. This multi-tooth working end provides a broader grasping pattern than a single-tooth tenaculum.

The jaws should be inspected before use for correct alignment, visible damage, deformation, or other conditions that could interfere with controlled grasping.

Ratchet Locking Mechanism

The instrument includes a ratchet locking mechanism that allows the selected jaw position to be maintained during use. This provides a self-retaining grasp once the required level of closure has been selected.

The ratchet should engage and release correctly throughout its available positions. Any damaged or unreliable locking mechanism should be evaluated before clinical use.

Box / Screw Joint Construction

The current product description identifies a box or screw joint connecting the working jaws and handles. This joint forms the primary pivot point through which manual handle movement is transferred to the toothed jaws.

Before use, the joint should move smoothly and maintain proper alignment between the opposing 4 × 4 tooth surfaces.

Cervical Stabilization and Traction

The Pratt Tenaculum Forceps are designed for controlled cervical stabilization and traction during gynecological procedures. The extended shaft and multi-tooth jaws provide a specialized instrument configuration where secure access to the cervix is required.

The amount of traction and method of use should be determined by the clinician according to the procedure, anatomy, and tissue condition.

Uterine Manipulation

The current Peak Surgicals description also identifies the instrument for uterine stabilization and manipulation. The long 28 cm profile provides reach for procedures where the uterus must be controlled during vaginal or abdominal surgical approaches.

The forceps should be positioned according to the operating surgeon's technique and the requirements of the individual procedure.

Hysterectomy and Myomectomy Applications

Peak Surgicals specifically references hysterectomy and myomectomy among the procedures in which the Pratt Tenaculum Forceps may be used to provide uterine traction and stabilization.

The exact method of application should be selected according to the surgical approach and operative requirements.

Cervical Repair and IUD Procedure Context

The current product description also references cervical tear repair and advanced IUD insertion or removal procedures where cervical stabilization may be required.

These applications should be performed by appropriately trained clinicians according to the specific clinical procedure and patient requirements.

Surgical Stainless Steel Construction

The current Peak Surgicals listing identifies the Pratt Tenaculum Forceps as manufactured from surgical stainless steel. The rigid metallic construction provides the structural support required for a reusable locking forceps.

The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current product page. Hospitals, clinics, distributors, and procurement teams requiring a specific material grade or supporting documentation should confirm that information before ordering.

Instrument Inspection and Reprocessing

Following clinical use, the forceps should be cleaned, inspected, and reprocessed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility's validated procedures.

Particular attention should be given to the 4 × 4 toothed jaws, box joint, ratchet teeth, shafts, and handle areas. Before reuse, inspect the instrument for retained debris, corrosion, jaw misalignment, deformation, restricted movement, or locking problems.
