Clinical Application
This long-shaft trocar-point sponge holder is designed to securely grasp and deliver surgical sponges or packing into deep or confined anatomical spaces. The 28 cm length provides access to cavities and wound depths where shorter forceps cannot reach, making it useful for sponge packing, focused pressure for hemostasis, manipulation of swabs, and controlled removal of dressings or debris during procedures.
Design & Configuration
The trocar-point tip concentrates the holding force on a small contact area to secure gauze and sponge material with minimal slippage, improving control during placement and retrieval. The elongated shaft geometry enables reach into pelvic, abdominal, or deep wound cavities while maintaining tactile feedback at the surgeon’s hand. The overall profile is intended to balance reach with maneuverability in constrained operative fields.
