Sklar Rampley Sponge Holding Forceps, 10 Inch
A 10 inch sponge holding forceps from Sklar used by surgical teams to grip and hold swabs or sponges securely during general open surgical procedures.
The Sklar Rampley Sponge Holding Forceps are used throughout general surgery to grip and hold a swab or sponge securely, allowing the surgeon or scrub nurse to clean, pack or blot the surgical field without direct hand contact. The ring shaped jaws of a sponge forceps are designed to hold gauze firmly in place even under repeated use, an important feature given how many times a sponge forceps changes hands or is used during a typical procedure.
Measuring 10 inches, this instrument is a standard length suited to general abdominal and open surgical fields. This listing includes three variants within the Rampley sponge forceps range, at a size close to 9-3/4 to 10 inches. Sponge holding forceps are one of the most universally used instruments across surgical specialties, and hospitals typically keep large numbers in circulation given the volume of swabs handled during any given operating list.
