Foerster Sponge Holding Fcps serr str 25cm

Clinical Application

Classic sponge-holding forceps designed to secure sponges and swabs during operative and procedural care. Commonly used for packing wounds and body cavities, delivering soaked sponges for topical hemostasis, atraumatic blunt dissection, dressing changes, and controlled specimen retrieval. The secure serrated grip minimizes slippage when manipulating moist sponges in both open and minor procedure settings.

Design & Configuration

The straight 25 cm shaft provides balanced reach and control for work in superficial cavities and general operative fields. Oval fenestrated, serrated jaws concentrate grip on sponges while reducing tissue trauma when used for blunt manipulation. A ratchet locking mechanism allows sustained, hands-free hold on a sponge or dressing, and the box-lock hinge gives dependable alignment and durability under repeated use.
