Bozemann Dressing Fcps str 26cm

Clinical Application

Long, straight Bozeman dressing forceps are used to place, remove, and manipulate dressings, sponges, and packing material in confined cavities. They are commonly used in obstetrics and gynecology for vaginal packing and suture handling, and in general surgery and wound care where extended reach and a secure grip on dressings or small items are required. The locking ratchet permits sustained traction or secure holding of materials without continuous manual pressure.

Design & Configuration

The straight 26 cm shaft provides extended reach for deep but linear access paths where a curved instrument is unnecessary or undesirable. The long, tapered jaws allow precise placement of packing or dressings while minimizing obstruction of the surgical field. Serrated jaw surfaces deliver a reliable grip on fabric, gauze, sutures, and small tissue fragments. A locking ratchet lets the operator maintain hold on materials hands-free, which is useful during packing procedures or when passing instruments or sutures.
