Clinical Application
Designed for controlled handling and introduction of gauze, sponges, and small dressings within the sterile field. The instrument is used to pack wounds or cavities, apply pressure with a swab for hemostasis, retrieve small items from deep or narrow sites, and assist with dressing changes in operating rooms, procedure suites and outpatient clinics. Its 22 cm length provides additional reach for working in deeper cavities while maintaining control of the swab or sponge.
Design & Configuration
The straight configuration provides a direct approach to the target site, facilitating parallel access and precise placement of swabs. A 22 cm shaft balances reach with tactile control, allowing the clinician to maintain visibility and hand clearance over the sterile field. Swab-style tips distribute pressure across gauze or sponges to reduce point pressure and limit trauma to underlying tissues while securing the dressing during manipulation.
