Product Specifications

Pratt Tenaculum Design

The Pratt Tenaculum Forceps is designed for surgical situations where secure tissue engagement and controlled manipulation are required. Tenaculum forceps are commonly used in gynecological procedures to help stabilize tissue and maintain controlled traction during examination or surgical access.

The Pratt pattern offers an alternative to other gynecological tissue-holding instruments such as Schroder, Pozzi, Jacobs, and related tenaculum or vulsellum forceps. Selection should depend on the procedure, tissue type, desired working reach, and surgeon preference.

21 cm / 8.3" Working Size

With an overall length of 21 cm, this Pratt tenaculum provides useful reach while remaining compact enough for controlled handling. The size can be suitable for procedures where the practitioner requires effective tissue access without the additional length of larger 25–28 cm tenaculum patterns.

Applications & Usage

The 21 cm reusable Pratt Tenaculum Forceps is designed for professional procedures requiring firm tissue stabilization or manipulation. Potential applications include:

• Gynecological surgical procedures
• Cervical tissue stabilization
• Uterine tissue manipulation where clinically appropriate
• Controlled tissue traction
• OB/GYN procedures
• General surgical tissue grasping
• Procedures requiring stable tissue positioning

The exact method of application, amount of traction, anatomical use, and suitability of the forceps should be determined by an appropriately trained healthcare professional.
