Clinical Application
Designed to control and manipulate sponges, tampons and packing material in confined or deep cavities. Commonly used in general surgery, gynecology, ENT and minor-procedure settings to place or remove dressings and nasal or wound packing, and to provide a secure atraumatic grip on loosely held tissue during preparation and dressing changes.
Design & Configuration
The long, slender shaft and purpose-shaped jaws provide extended reach into cavities while maintaining tactile feedback at the distal tip. The jaw geometry secures sponges and packing material without cutting or compressing them, allowing controlled placement and removal. The instrument's balanced length supports one-handed positioning and reduces the need for repeated instrument exchanges during packing procedures.
