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*

While the tenaculum is highly effective, it often causes pain and bleeding*

*Always contact your gynecologist for medical information
