OB/GYN 11 1/2″ Hulka Tenaculum Forceps Single Tooth & Probe Tip

The OB/GYN 11 1/2″ Hulka Tenaculum Forceps are specialized gynecological surgical forceps designed for controlled grasping, stabilization, and manipulation during compatible uterine procedures. Their Hulka-style configuration combines a single-tooth working end with a probe tip, providing a specialized instrument profile for controlled positioning.

The 11 1/2-inch overall length provides extended reach within the gynecological operative field while maintaining controlled handling. The single-tooth configuration is intended for appropriate tissue engagement and stabilization according to the requirements of the procedure.

Design and Configuration

The forceps feature an overall length of 11 1/2 inches with a single-tooth and probe-tip configuration. The specialized working end provides a defined point of engagement, while the probe tip supports controlled positioning within the operative field.

The handle and jaw mechanism should operate smoothly and provide controlled movement. The working end should remain properly aligned and free from visible damage.

Working-End Characteristics

The single-tooth working end is designed for controlled engagement with appropriate tissue structures during compatible gynecological procedures. The probe tip provides an additional defined point for positioning and instrument control.

Both working elements should be inspected before use for proper alignment, smooth surfaces, and any signs of deformation or damage.

Gynecological Surgical Applications

The Hulka Tenaculum Forceps may be suitable for compatible OB/GYN applications involving:

• Controlled tissue grasping and stabilization
• Uterine positioning and manipulation
• Instrument-assisted gynecological procedures
• Controlled engagement of appropriate tissue structures
• Procedures requiring a single-tooth tenaculum with probe tip

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 maintain the integrity and alignment of the single-tooth working end.

Before use, inspect the tooth, probe tip, hinge, shaft, and handle for proper condition and smooth operation.

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 single tooth, probe tip, and hinge areas where biological residue may accumulate.

After cleaning, inspect both working elements for proper shape, surface integrity, and alignment.

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 that the single tooth and probe tip remain properly configured and that the instrument operates smoothly.
