The one-toothed #tenaculum is utilized for stability and traction in most gynecologic operations involving #cervix and intrauterine instrumentation, and it permits the uterus to descend within the #pouch . Most notably, the tenaculum reduces uterine bending and facilitates the entry of tools into the uterine cavity. Tenaculum entry, extraction of intrauterine devices, uterine biopsy, uterine suction, and hysterectomy are all procedures that are commonly performed prior to insertion of intrauterine devices.
