Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic handling of dressings, sponges and non-delicate tissues during wound care, prep and general surgical procedures. The long straight reach allows operators to place and remove gauze, swabs and packing in deep wounds or cavities while maintaining a secure grip on dressings.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry and 20 cm length provide controlled reach and tactile feedback for dressing placement and removal. The Gross Maier pattern uses broad, flattened tips with serrations that distribute holding pressure across dressings and sponges to reduce slippage while minimizing focal compression on tissue. This configuration is useful in general surgery, emergency care and clinic settings where secure manipulation of bulk materials is required.
