A tenaculum is a forcep that consists of a slim, pointed hook attached to a handle. It is used to steady the cervix and uterus during insertion of an intrauterine device. It is a hand-held, hooked instrument used for lifting and holding tissues and blood vessels in place during surgeries. In gynecologic surgery, tenaculum forceps are normally used, and cervical tenaculum is commonly used to hold the cervix. Common gynecological procedures in which tenaculum is used are endometrial sampling, hysteroscopy, hysterosalpingography, insertion of intrauterine contraceptive devices, and intrauterine insemination or embryo transfer. Tenaculum enables proper placement of intrauterine devices and is therefore widely used by gynecologists.
Rise in acceptance of minimally invasive procedures as a convenient alternative to hysterectomy, increase in prevalence of gynecological diseases worldwide are some of the factors likely to drive the growth of the Tenaculum Market in the forecast period. According to an article published by Baishideng Publishing Group Inc, approximately 1:4 of all cancers in women in developing countries (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) are gynecological cancers.
The gynecological cancer burden in developing countries is large, primarily due to the high incidence of cervical cancer and mortality related to it. Cervical cancer accounts for over 60% of the gynecological cancer burden in developing countries despite being preventable through current technologies. Delay in the approvals by regulatory authorities and availability of substitutes such as Biopsy Forceps are some of the restrains likely to affect the growth of the tenaculum market in the forecast period.

The global tenaculum market can be segmented based on tooth type, end-user, and region. Based on tooth type, the global tenaculum market can be classified into double tooth and straight tooth. Double-tooth is expected to account for larger market share due to ease of use and its advantage over straight tooth, as it is easy in grasping the cervix with a double tooth tenaculum. In terms of end-user, the global tenaculum market can be split into hospitals, clinics, ambulatory care centers, and others. Hospital segment is expected to account for larger market share due to increasing patient preference and growing number of gynecological surgeries in hospital setting.
