Sklar® Schroeder-Pozzi tenaculum forceps are a ratcheted, finger ring instrument commonly used in OB/GYN procedures involving manipulation of the cervix or uterus - including D&C, and vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy. They are also used to grasp, hold, and move vessels and arteries during surgical procedures. The tips of the Schroeder-Pozzi have two rounded, inward curving prongs. The prongs overlap, providing a strong hold on the tissue, but are also traumatic to tissue.
