Rampley Sponge Holding Fcps S/J 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed to grasp and retain surgical swabs (sponges) securely without crushing, this instrument is used to place and remove packing, maintain a clear surgical field, and perform blunt dissection or tissue protection during procedures. Its atraumatic fenestrated jaws permit reliable sponge control for general surgery, gynecology, ENT, minor procedures and wound care where a secure, nondestructive grip on swabs is required.

Design & Configuration

The fenestrated, rounded jaws provide an even contact surface that holds sponges firmly while minimizing local tissue compression. Ring handles with a ratchet lock allow the instrument to remain closed at a chosen tension for hands-free retention, and a box-lock joint provides durable alignment and long-term functional reliability. At 18 cm overall length, the instrument offers mid-range reach and control suitable for both superficial and deeper cavity work without excessive bulk.
