Hartmann Sponge Holder 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed to secure surgical sponges during procedures and dressing changes, this instrument allows clinicians to control bleeding, protect tissues, perform blunt dissection, and apply or remove packing without direct hand contact. The 20 cm length provides suitable reach for superficial to moderately deep wounds and operative sites encountered in general surgery, ENT, dermatology, minor outpatient procedures, and bedside wound care.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handle geometry with a hinged ratchet creates a familiar scissor-like grip for precise manual control and a positive lock to maintain hold on a sponge without constant hand pressure. The serrated, fenestrated jaw faces are configured to trap gauze or sponges securely while minimizing slippage during traction or gentle retraction. At 20 cm, the balance of shaft length and jaw aperture offers reach and tactile feedback for controlled manipulation in confined spaces.
