Sklar Bergmann-Foerster Sponge Forceps, Straight
A 10 inch straight sponge forceps used to grip and hold surgical sponges securely for skin prep, swabbing and packing during surgery.
The Sklar Bergmann-Foerster Sponge Forceps is a ring handled forceps designed to grip surgical sponges firmly for prepping the skin, swabbing the operative field or packing a cavity during surgery. Measuring 10 inches, it offers enough reach to keep the surgeon's hand clear of the immediate prep or working area while still maintaining a secure grip on the sponge.
This listing covers the straight configuration, one of two curvature options offered alongside a curved version, giving the surgical team a choice depending on the angle of access required for a given task. The oval or ring shaped jaws at the tip are designed to hold a folded sponge without letting it slip free during use, whether for antiseptic skin preparation before incision or for blotting and clearing blood from the field during the procedure.
Sponge forceps of this kind are a basic, high turnover item in nearly every surgical instrument tray across specialties. As with other Sklar instruments, it is built for repeated clinical use with standard sterilization between cases.
