Sklar Merit Foerster Sponge Forceps, Fenestrated
Fenestrated, serrated sponge forceps used to hold gauze or a prep sponge during skin preparation, available in curved and straight patterns.
The Sklar Merit Foerster Sponge Forceps is used to hold a gauze sponge or swab securely while prepping a surgical site or applying antiseptic solution to skin, keeping the operator's fingers away from direct contact with the solution or the patient. The jaws are fenestrated, meaning they include an opening that lets a folded sponge sit more securely between the tips, and a serrated surface further improves grip so the sponge does not slip or fall during use.
This listing includes a range of sizes and curvatures, with a 7 inch straight pattern and 9-1/2 inch options in both curved and straight, giving staff a choice suited to the size of the prep area and personal preference for handling. Sponge forceps of this pattern are used throughout general surgery, obstetrics and outpatient procedure settings wherever skin preparation with an antiseptic solution is required before a procedure.
Manufactured from surgical grade stainless steel, they withstand repeated autoclave sterilisation across many procedures. They are a standard item in surgical prep trays and minor procedure kits.
