Vulsellum Forceps: An Essential Tool in Gynecology
This training session teaches you everything you want to know about the Vulsellum Forceps, from its composition to its several uses.
Important Points from the Video:
Knowing the Instrument:
The Vulsellum Forceps comprises finger bows, a ratchet lock, and blades with several teeth on the tip for secure tissue gripping.
Main Uses:
- The forceps are mainly employed to hold the cervix in gynecological interventions.
- It assists in cervical biopsy, where physicians can perform tissue sampling for testing.
- Assists in endometrial biopsy, enabling uterine lining sampling.
- Supports polypectomy, enabling the removal of cervical polyps.
- Necessary for intrauterine devices (IUD) insertion and hysterosalpingography (HSG) procedures.
- Applied in vaginal hysterectomy to improve cervical manipulation.
- Involved in myomectomy, ensuring a firm hold while removing fibroids.
Why is the Vulsellum Forceps Curved?
- Curvature provides improved observation of the cervix during the procedure.
- It increases the ergonomic grasping of the instrument, enhancing the ease of use by surgeons.
Proper Technique of Handling:
- In contrast to most surgical instruments grasped by the thumb and ring finger, the Vulsellum Forceps is gripped by the thumb and index finger for added control and precision.
- Proper positioning guarantees the best use in gynecologic procedures.
