The Pozzi Tenaculum Forceps: A Key Player in Ensuring Successful IUD Insertions

The Pozzi Tenaculum Forceps, a single-use, disposable gynecological instrument designed by SMB Corporation of India, plays an important role in the successful insertion of intrauterine devices (IUDs). Used by gynecologists and trained healthcare professionals, this disposable instrument is designed to provide reliable cervical stabilization during IUD procedures while supporting safe clinical practices. Its precision-engineered design ensures consistent performance for each procedure aligning with SMB’s focus on women’s healthcare.

Pozzi Tenaculum forceps are specialized gynecological instruments used to grasp, hold, and stabilize tissues such as the cervix during diagnostic and operative procedures. Their primary function is to provide controlled traction which helps improve access, alignment and accuracy during procedures such as IUD insertion.

Precise Tissue Grasping

The Disposable Pozzi Tenaculum Forceps features jaws with strong inward-pointing hooks that allow accurate tissue gripping. These sharp hooks help anchor the cervix securely and efficiently during IUD insertions. It is designed to stabilize cervical tissue while minimizing unnecessary trauma to delicate tissues. This level of precision is essential to support safety in gynecological procedures

Like other well-designed tenaculum instruments, the Pozzi Tenaculum enables firm tissue engagement without excessive pressure which is important during IUD insertion procedure

Enhanced Visibility

Its thinner ends and compact design allows improved visibility of the cervix and its surrounding anatomical structures. This enhanced visualization helps clinicians perform IUD insertion with greater accuracy and confidence, supporting smoother procedural flow.

The ergonomic design of the Pozzi Tenaculum reflects SMB Corporation’s focus on providing gynecological instruments that assist clinicians in maintaining clear access to the cervix during procedures. Improved visualization remains a key advantage of well-designed tenaculum instruments, as unobstructed access supports safer device placement.

Locking Mechanism
