Foerster Sponge Holding Fcps smooth cvd 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed to hold surgical sponges and swabs securely without tissue trauma, this curved Foerster sponge forceps facilitates fluid control, gentle blunt dissection, cavity packing, delivery of topical agents, and atraumatic tissue manipulation. Commonly used in general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, thoracic procedures, and minor procedures where secure sponge handling and controlled reach are required.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft provides improved access around contours and into deeper cavities while maintaining line-of-sight on the working tip. Smooth, broad oval jaws are optimized for retaining sponges and distributing applied pressure evenly to avoid focal tissue compression. Ring handles with a positive box-lock hinge deliver reliable tip alignment and tactile feedback for precise control during sponge placement, packing, and retrieval. The 20 cm length balances reach and maneuverability at the operative field.
