Clinical Application
Designed primarily for atraumatic handling and retrieval of swabs and packing material, this instrument is used across general surgery, ENT, gynecology, urology and wound care. Its jaw geometry secures gauze or swabs for insertion, removal, or specimen retrieval from narrow or deep cavities without crushing the material, and it is useful for controlled packing and dressing changes where direct fingertip access is limited.
Design & Configuration
Bent shanks provide an offset approach angle that improves line-of-sight and access in confined or deep surgical fields. The Rampley-style rounded swab jaws cradle gauze and swabs to reduce slippage and prevent tearing during withdrawal. The slim, ergonomic profile keeps the operator's hand clear of the wound entrance and allows finer control when positioning or removing packing material.
