Description

The HARDSTEEL INSTRUMENTS Sponge Forceps are high-precision surgical tools designed for aseptic handling of sponges, gauze, and delicate tissues during a wide range of medical and surgical procedures. Commonly used in general surgery, gynecology, obstetrics, ENT, and minor procedures, sponge forceps serve as essential multi-purpose instruments that enhance safety, hygiene, and precision in the operating room.

Engineered from high-grade, autoclavable surgical stainless steel, these forceps feature looped or serrated ring tips that securely grasp surgical swabs or sponge pads without slippage, ensuring reliable cleaning of surgical sites or absorption of excess fluids. The smooth yet firm clamping mechanism is ideal for manipulating gauze into deep body cavities or for prepping and cleaning internal surfaces, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.

The instrument typically features long shanks and a ratchet locking mechanism, enabling the surgeon or nurse to hold sponges in place without continuous pressure on the handles. This is especially critical in lengthy procedures where tissue swabbing or fluid absorption is repetitive and must be done with minimal fatigue. The fine polish and anti-glare satin finish offer excellent visibility under surgical lights.

From cesarean deliveries and minor wound debridements to cavity cleansing and antiseptic preparation, sponge forceps offer versatility and reliability under sterile conditions. They are also widely used in non-invasive procedures for vaginal and rectal sponge application during routine gynecological exams or pre-operative prepping.

These forceps meet or exceed international quality benchmarks, including ISO 13485 and CE-compliance for medical-grade use.
