A medical device used for grasping a body tissue has a main body having a first arm rotatably connected to a second arm at a pivot point. The main body has a proximal end and a distal end. A handle portion and a locking portion are disposed at the proximal end of the main body. A gripping portion including at least one flexible member is disposed at a distal end of the main body. The at least one flexible member is one of a flexible silicone band and a first gel-filled silicone pad and a second gel-filled silicone pad.

Atraumatic tenaculum for facilitation of transcervical procedures

A vaginal speculum and side wall retractor allows clinicians to visualize the cervix and upper vagina by retracting vaginal walls simultaneously. This device is comprised of a handle, a mobile introducer allowing the device to comfortably be inserted vaginally, and a lower blade capable of stabilizing the cervix and a body containing the side wall retractor. This retractor is comprised of a rolled-up sheet of transparent plastic which can be opened through a rotating shaft countersunk in the body of the base. A friction or sprocket gear allows the rotating shaft to open and close the plastic side wall retractor as well as completely unwinding the transparent plastic sheet so that the device can be removed while leaving surgical instruments in the vagina. The rotating shaft serves as a light guide and brings light from the knob, which contains an LED, into the rolled-up sheet during examinations.
