Product Overview

The Jacobs Vulsellum is a heavy-duty grasping instrument characterized by its 2×2 interlocking teeth and robust, straight shanks. Unlike the single-tooth Braun tenaculum, the Jacobs utilizes a multi-tooth configuration to distribute traction force across a larger surface area. This makes it the primary choice for surgeons performing vaginal hysterectomies, myomectomies, or uterine morcellation, where maximum mechanical authority is required to manipulate a heavy or fibroid uterus.

Key Features

• “Beast-Grip” 2×2 Interlocking Teeth: Features two sharp, heavy-duty prongs on each jaw that interlock with precision. This design provides a “dead-lock” anchor that significantly reduces the risk of tissue “tear-through,” even under extreme lateral or vertical traction.

• High-Traction Mechanical Authority: The straight, reinforced shanks are engineered to transmit maximum force from the handle to the tips without flexing. This allows the surgeon to deliver the uterus into the operative field with absolute confidence.

• Precision Ratchet Locking: Equipped with a multi-stage ratchet handle that allows the clinician to calibrate and maintain the closing pressure. Once the “beast” is engaged, it remains stationary, allowing for hands-free stabilization.

• Box-Lock Structural Integrity: Features a high-precision box-lock hinge that ensures the teeth meet with perfect symmetry every time. This eliminates the “scissoring” effect, ensuring that the teeth bite cleanly into the target tissue.

• Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to withstand high-torque maneuvers and thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles while maintaining its mirror-smooth finish and tip sharpness.
