ABSTRACT:
A new Tenaculum for gripping the human uterine cervix presses it against an inserted medical instrument such as the sheath of a hysteroscope. The new tenaculum has a pair of movable extension members which branch into two spaced arms each extending into a knob. Each knob has a tooth which projects toward an oppositely facing knob, with the teeth offset to avoid point to point interface. Each knob has a substantially flat surface for engaging the cervix to better distribute the gripping force. The teeth and knobs are integral with their corresponding extension member.
