Foerster Swab Fcps Narrow str 25cm

Clinical Application

Designed to securely hold sponges and dressings, this narrow straight Foerster forceps is used across general surgery, minor procedures, wound care, and sterile dressing changes. The fenestrated jaws provide a reliable grip on gauze or cottonoids for absorption and packing, while the atraumatic profile minimizes tissue trauma when used for blunt dissection or retraction of soft tissue during exposure.

Design & Configuration

The narrow straight shaft gives improved access to confined or deep cavities where a wider jaw would be obstructive. Oval fenestrations in the jaws cradle swabs and prevent slippage, allowing the instrument to hold dressings securely without excessive compression. Ring handles with a locking ratchet permit single‑handed fixation of the instrument position, enabling one‑handed sponge management and more efficient operative workflow.
