Rampley Swab Fcps Bent Shanks 25cm

Clinical Application

Designed to handle gauze swabs and sponges securely within the sterile field, these forceps are used for sponge exchange, wound packing, application of antiseptic, retrieval of dressings and small specimens, and atraumatic manipulation of soft tissues. The 25 cm length provides extended reach for deeper cavities and wound beds while maintaining tactile control, making the instrument useful in general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, minor procedure rooms, and emergency care.

Design & Configuration

Bent shanks place the jaws at an angle to the shaft, allowing the operator to approach tissue planes and cavities without obstructing the line of sight. This geometry reduces hand crowding over the operative field and improves access around anatomical curves. Swab-style tips are sized and shaped to secure gauze and sponges with predictable contact surface area, enabling reliable transfer and packing without excessive compression or slippage.
