OB/GYN 10 1/4″ Bozeman Uterine Forceps S shape

The OB/GYN 10 1/4″ Bozeman Uterine Forceps are specialized gynecological surgical forceps designed for controlled grasping and manipulation during compatible uterine procedures. The distinctive S-shaped configuration provides an offset profile that can support positioning of the working end within the gynecological operative field.

With an overall length of 10 1/4 inches, the forceps provide useful reach while maintaining controlled instrument handling. The Bozeman-style configuration is intended for applications where a curved or offset forceps profile is appropriate.

Design and Configuration

The Bozeman Uterine Forceps feature an S-shaped configuration with an overall length of 10 1/4 inches. The offset shape provides a defined working path and can assist with positioning the jaws around appropriate anatomical structures.

The handle and working mechanism are designed for controlled opening and closing. The working end should remain properly aligned and free from visible damage to support reliable performance.

Working-End Characteristics

The working end is designed for controlled grasping and manipulation of appropriate tissue or structures during compatible gynecological procedures. The S-shaped profile supports positioning where a straight instrument may not provide the desired approach.

The jaws should be inspected before use to confirm proper alignment, smooth operation, and surface integrity.

Gynecological Surgical Applications

The Bozeman Uterine Forceps may be suitable for compatible OB/GYN applications involving:

• Controlled grasping and holding
• Uterine tissue manipulation
• Instrument-assisted positioning
• Gynecological procedures requiring an offset forceps profile
• Procedures where Bozeman-style forceps are appropriate

The specific clinical application should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional according to the procedure and established clinical technique.

Handling and Use Considerations

The forceps should be operated with controlled pressure appropriate to the intended application. Excessive force should be avoided to help preserve jaw alignment and instrument integrity.

Before use, inspect the jaws, hinge, shaft, and handles for smooth movement, proper alignment, and visible damage.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, clean the forceps according to the healthcare facility's validated instrument-processing protocol. Particular attention should be given to the working end and hinge areas where biological residue may accumulate.

Following cleaning, inspect the jaws for proper alignment and confirm that the S-shaped configuration remains intact.

Sterilization and Inspection

Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established sterilization protocol. Before reuse, verify the condition of the working end, hinge, and S-shaped shaft.
