GYN and uro Flashcards
Double tooth Uterine Tenaculum
- Grasping/Holding
- Traumatic: Use to securely penetrate the cervix and
utilize traction to stabilize the cervix during any
uterine procedure with a vaginal approach
Polyp Forceps
- Grasping/Holding
- Atraumatic: Used to
bluntly remove polyps
from within the uterus
(cervical access), nose or
sinus cavities.
Heaney Clamp
- Clamping/Occluding
(((Curved, straight, or right angle versions))) - Traumatic: Used abdominally or vaginally to clamp and hold, without slippage, the very
vascular uterine pedicles - Used during a hysterectomy to assist in clamp,
clamp, cut, tie
Heaney-Ballentine Clamp
- Clamping/Occluding
((Curved, straight, or right angle versions)) - Traumatic: Used abdominally or vaginally to clamp and hold without slippage the very
vascular uterine pedicles, during a hysterectomy, to assist in clamp, clamp, cut, tie.
Avard Weighted Speculum
- Retracting/viewing
- Self-retaining, atraumatic:
The weight at the bottom
hangs down and retracts
the posterior vaginal wall. - The groove along the back
of the speculum allows
blood and fluid to spill out
of the field. A glove is
often applied to the weight
to catch the blood.
Graves Vaginal Speculum
- Retracting/viewing
- Self-retaining,
atraumatic: Used to
retract the anterior and
posterior vaginal walls
allowing visualization of
the cervix.
Heaney Retractor
- Retracting/viewing
- Handheld, atraumatic: Used to retract deep tissue of the
vaginal walls to visualize the cervix.
Simms Vaginal Retractor
- Retracting/viewing
- Handheld, atraumatic:
Used to retract deep
tissue of the vaginal
walls to visualize the
cervix.
Lone Star Retractor
- Retracting/viewing/supply
- Self-retaining, traumatic: The small end of the retractor is secured to the drape with a security clamp. larger ring hangs over the perineum.. sharp hooks attach to the sides of vafginal wals to stretch out the vag.
anterior and posterior vaginal repairs
Clearview Uterine Manipulator
- Retracting/viewing/supply
- Atraumatic: Inserted
through the cervix to
externally manipulate the
uterus with the patient in
supine position during
laparoscopic procedures. - Provides the greatest
motion range of any
uterine manipulator.
Zumi Uterine Manipulator
- Retracting/viewing/supply
Atraumatic: Inserted through the cervix to externally manipulate the uterus with the patient in lithotomy position during laparoscopic procedures
Colored fluid may be injected into the rigid leur lock opening of the zumi to check the fallopian tubes for blockage.
Cone Tip Uterine Manipulator
Retracting/viewing
- Atraumatic: Inserted through the cervix to externally
manipulate the uterus with the patient in lithotomy position during laparoscopic
procedures. - Used in conjunction with a uterine tenaculum.
Size: Variable Cone Tips
Uterine Sound
- Accessory
- This is a measuring devise used to measure the depth of the uterus.
- Atraumatic: It is inserted vaginally through the cervical
opening until it touched the top of the fundus. This tells the
surgeon how deep he is able to insert dilators or curettes
without penetrating the uterine wall.
Hegar Uterine Dilators
Dilating
Smeared with KY Jelly and used progressively, from smallest in diameter to the largest, to dilate the cervix.
The doctor will start with the size that is closest to the cervical opening diameter and stop at the size of the operative instrument to be used
Van Buren Urethral Sounds
- Dilating
- Smeared with KY Jelly and used progressively, from smallest in diameter to the largest, to dilate
the urethra of both males and females. - The doctor will start with the size that is closest to the urethral opening diameter and stop at the
