Clinical Application
Designed to securely grasp and stabilize small sterile bowls, basins and receptacles during procedures. These forceps facilitate safe transfer of solutions, swabs and specimens between the sterile field and auxiliary containers, reducing the risk of spillage and contamination. The 30 cm length provides reach across drapes and into deeper fields where short instruments would require additional manipulation or compromise sterility.
Design & Configuration
The long-shaft geometry positions the cup-shaped jaws away from the operator’s hands, improving visibility and control when handling curved or shallow basins. The concave, bowl-style tips cradle rims and small dishes to minimize slipping and tipping. The overall configuration prioritizes stable transport and placement of sterile receptacles while maintaining distance from the operative site.
