Skene Uterine Tenaculum Forceps

Skene Uterine Tenaculum Forceps – 9.5″ (24.1 cm) Cervical & Uterine Traction Forceps

Pak Line Industries presents the Skene Uterine Tenaculum Forceps (9.5″ / 24.1 cm), a specialized gynecological and obstetrical grasping instrument engineered for firm, slip-free stabilization and gentle traction of the cervix and uterus during intrauterine interventions. Featuring curved outward-bowing shanks ending in fine, sharp, opposing inward-curved single prongs (1×1 teeth), this instrument enables clinicians to anchor the anterior or posterior cervical lip securely with minimal puncture trauma, stabilizing the uterine axis during sound insertion, dilation, or intrauterine device placement.

Manufactured in our ISO 13485:2016 certified production facility in Sialkot, every pair of Skene tenaculum forceps is hot-drop forged from premium medical-grade AISI 420 Surgical Stainless Steel and vacuum heat-treated to HRC 50–54 to guarantee lasting tensile strength, point alignment, and high corrosion resistance. The extended 9.5″ (24.1 cm) reach passes smoothly through standard bivalve or Sims speculums, providing direct cervical access without crowding the operative field or obstructing illumination. Built with an anti-glare satin matte finish, this instrument is fully reusable, rustproof, and 100% steam autoclavable, meeting the clinical demands of hospital operating rooms, outpatient colposcopy suites, and global medical supply distributors.

Key Features & Surgical Performance Advantages

• Sharply Honed Inward-Curved Prongs (1×1): Fine, opposing single-tooth prongs provide a pinpoint bite into tough fibromuscular cervical tissue, offering strong traction while minimizing tissue tearing and post-procedure bleeding.

• Distal Outward-Bowing Jaw Geometry: The bowed tips allow adequate clearance around the cervical os, keeping the entrance clear for introducing sounds, dilators, curettes, or suction cannulas.

• Extended 9.5″ (24.1 cm) Reach: Slender, long shanks navigate deep vaginal speculums effortlessly, keeping the surgeon’s hand well outside the visual axis.

• Multi-Step Ratchet Locking Mechanism: Ergonomic finger-ring ratchet provides graduated, positive holding pressure, maintaining hands-free uterine traction throughout operative steps.

• Reinforced Box-Lock Hinge: Sturdy joint assembly prevents prong crossing, jaw play, or deflection under heavy traction or uterine repositioning.

• Medical-Grade AISI 420 Stainless Steel: Martensitic alloy delivers high hardness and spring resilience, preventing tip bending or dulling across repeated uses.

• Anti-Glare Satin Matte Finish: Reduces reflective glare from surgical headlights and speculum-directed illumination, minimizing eye strain.

• 100% Steam Autoclavable & Reusable: Resists repeated hospital autoclaving cycles (134°C / 273°F) and ultrasonic cleaning without hinge stiffening or oxidation.

• OEM & Custom Specification Services: Available in standard lengths with custom laser marking, institutional coding, CE regulatory etching, and bulk export packaging.
