Ovum Forceps

Ovum Forceps is a specialized surgical instrument primarily used in gynecology and obstetrics. Designed for the delicate handling of the ovum (egg) or during procedures like ovum retrieval in fertility treatments, these forceps feature precise, fine-tipped jaws to ensure safe manipulation without causing injury.

Key Features:

• Fine, Curved or Straight Tips: The tips are typically small and curved to grasp delicate tissues like the ovum with minimal risk of damage.
• Length: Generally ranges from 6 to 8 inches, making them suitable for accessing the ovaries and surrounding structures.
• Smooth or Serrated Surface: Some models may have a smooth surface, while others feature a serrated texture for a firmer grip on tissues.
• Locking Mechanism: Equipped with a locking mechanism to maintain grip once the forceps are in place, ensuring stability during the procedure.
• Material: Made from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of sterilization.

Common Uses:

• Ovum Retrieval: In assisted reproductive technologies (ART), ovum forceps are used to carefully retrieve the egg (ovum) from the ovaries for in vitro fertilization (IVF).
• Gynecological Procedures: Used in gynecological surgeries or diagnostic procedures that require the manipulation of delicate reproductive tissues.
• Manipulation of Ovarian Cysts: Occasionally used to hold or manipulate cysts or other structures during ovarian surgeries.

The precision and design of Ovum Forceps ensure that they can perform delicate tasks with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissue, making them an essential tool in reproductive health treatments and surgical procedures.
