Clinical Application
Designed to grasp and transfer cotton swabs and pledgets safely and atraumatically, this curved forceps is used to apply topical agents, pack wounds or cavities, control minor bleeding with swabs, and perform delicate cleaning or dressing tasks. Its length and curvature make it suited for reaching into moderate-depth cavities such as nasal passages, oral/oropharyngeal spaces, wound cavities, and vaginal exams where a controlled, sterile delivery of pledgets is required.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry provides an angled approach for improved line-of-sight and access to confined or recessed operative fields. A 27 cm shaft offers extended reach without sacrificing manual control, allowing the operator to place swabs accurately while maintaining distance from the field when necessary. Tips are configured to retain cotton pledgets securely without shredding or slipping, enabling precise placement and retrieval during procedures.
