Rampley Sponge Holding Fcps 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic handling of surgical sponges, gauze, and dressings during operative and procedural care. Commonly used for application of antiseptic, packing wounds, blunt tissue manipulation, and retrieval of small debris or dressings in general surgery, minor procedures, and sterile field management. The 18 cm length offers a balance of reach and manual control for bedside and operating-room tasks.

Design & Configuration

The ring-handle configuration with a locking ratchet and robust box lock provides secure, repeatable clamping force when holding sponges or dressings. Fenestrated jaws are shaped to retain sponge material without unnecessary compression, reducing the risk of sponge slippage. The overall geometry is intended to give tactile feedback and fingertip control for precise placement and removal in confined spaces.
