Clinical Application
Used to grasp and manipulate sterile swabs, gauze, and dressings in operative and procedural settings. The 25 cm length provides reach into deeper cavities and sterile fields while maintaining tactile control, making it suitable for general surgery, ENT, minor procedures, wound packing, and sterile dressing changes. Its flat, textured jaws help secure swabs without excessive compression or tearing, supporting precise hemostasis control and atraumatic handling of surgical materials.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry offers direct alignment between the operator’s hand and the working tip for predictable transfer and placement of swabs. A longer 25 cm shaft increases working reach to access deeper tissue planes or field corners without compromising control at the tip. The flat, textured jaw surfaces are configured to hold soft materials firmly while minimizing slippage, which is important when applying antiseptics, absorbing fluids, or packing wounds in narrow spaces.
