Sponge Holder 25cm

Clinical Application

Provides secure, atraumatic handling and delivery of sterile sponges and gauze during operative procedures and dressing changes. Commonly used to apply antiseptics, perform blunt dissection, pack or remove sponges from cavities, and provide focal pressure to aid hemostasis. The 25 cm length affords additional reach for abdominal, pelvic, ENT and general surgical fields while keeping the operator’s hands clear of the immediate wound area.

Design & Configuration

A slender shaft with ring-style handles and a ratchet lock enables single-handed control and positive securing of sponges for transport or sustained pressure. The box-lock hinge maintains alignment and reliable jaw articulation through repeated use. Fenestrated sponge-holding jaws capture gauze without excessive compression, minimizing slippage while permitting rapid release when the ratchet is disengaged.
