What is a cervical tenaculum?
- The tenaculum is a surgical instrument commonly used in gynecology
- It resembles a pair of scissors with sharp-pointed hooks at the end
-
It was invented over a century ago and remains largely unchanged** Bloch G. (2019). Les gynécos travaillent avec des outils centenaires. Le Temps.
-
While the tenaculum is highly effective, it often causes pain and bleeding** Lopez LM, Bernholc A, Zeng Y, et al. (2015). Interventions for pain with intrauterine device insertion. Cochrane Database Syst Rev.
