OK! sorry for the awkward image, but there is some usefulness to this very off topic (and seemingly unrelated picture.
Observe, notice how this vampire has spike teeth on the top and bottom. now here is the key.
Whenever you see an instrument with teeth similar to this (two teeth or spiked on each jaw side), I want to to think of a vampire.
After you have the idea of "vampire", Imagine that
Another word for "Vampire" could be "Vulsellum"
-
Look at this instrument Carefully. You may not notice, but there is a set of 2 teeth on each side. Do you remember the idea of the 2 teeth on each side?
Right! this is a Jacobs Vulsellum Forcep.
Every Instrument for this Exam that has 2 teeth on each side has the name Vulsellum in it.
I think jacobs because it looks a little more heafty than it's predecessors, and I have always known people with the name Jacob to be rather built.

Ok, three things here. (FACT) There is 2 spikes on one side, and only one on the other. We know what this is NOT. so, What is this? and what is this not? How do you know?
Answer 1. This is a Wylie Tenaculum
Answer 2. This is not a Vulsellum
Answer 3. Knowing that there is 2 spikes on one side and only one on another, we can infer that this does not satisfy the requirements for a Vulsellum.

Two Teeth on each side! Amazing!
So, what is this Instrument?

EEK! Yea, I realize that some of you are afraid of spiders, however this may be used as a device to help you remember some instruments.
Any instrument with spikes that are not Vulsellum (vampires), are essentially like a tarantula.
The easiest way for me to understand this is the two dominate extensions protruding from it's head.

Notice how this Instrument has two dominate spikes, similar to a tarantula.
Tarantula is like Tenaculum, and Tenaculum is like Tarantula.
