Museux forceps take hold of the cervix or other firm tissue and let the operator apply steady traction, so the uterus is straightened and held still for sounding, dilatation or curettage. The paired teeth bite into thick tissue and the hard ratchet keeps the grip locked while the instrument is under tension. The sideways curve keeps the handles away from the line of sight through a speculum.
Close the ratchet only as far as needed to hold the tissue, and inspect the teeth after each use to be sure they still meet evenly, since precise tooth alignment is what gives these forceps a secure bite. Hospitals issuing a lab equipment tender in India for gynaecology sets can list the Museux alongside specula, sounds and dilators.

What are Museux Uterine Forceps Curved used for?
Museux Uterine Forceps Curved are used to grip and immobilise thick tissue as uterine traction forceps. They hold the tissue steady so the operator can apply controlled traction during gynaecological procedures such as sounding, dilatation or curettage.
How many teeth do the Museux Uterine Forceps Curved have?
The Museux Uterine Forceps Curved have 2 x 2 teeth with precise adjustment, so the teeth of each jaw meet cleanly. Paired teeth give a secure bite in thick tissue while traction is applied.
What are the dimensions of the Museux Uterine Forceps Curved?
The Museux Uterine Forceps Curved are 24 cm long with jaws of 8-10 mm. They are curved sideways, which keeps the handles out of the operator's line of sight during the procedure.
Do the Museux Uterine Forceps Curved lock?
Yes, the Museux Uterine Forceps Curved have a hard, lockable ratchet. Once closed on the tissue, the ratchet holds the grip so traction can be maintained without the user squeezing the handles.
How do Museux and Duplay uterine forceps differ?
Museux Uterine Forceps Curved are 24 cm long, curved sideways, with 2 x 2 teeth, while the Duplay Uterine Forceps Curved are longer and double curved. Both are traction forceps of the vulsellum or tenaculum type.
