Sponge Holder/Holding Forceps 12"

Product Description

A sponge holder, also known as a sponge forceps, is a specialized surgical instrument commonly used in veterinary procedures to hold and manipulate surgical sponges or gauze. It plays a crucial role in maintaining sterility during operations by allowing the veterinary surgeon or assistant to handle swabs without direct hand contact. Typically made from high-grade, autoclavable stainless steel, the sponge holder resembles a pair of scissors but features looped, fenestrated jawsoften curved or straightthat are specifically designed to grasp and hold gauze securely without slipping. A built-in ratchet locking mechanism near the ringed handles allows the instrument to remain clamped in place with minimal effort, providing steady control during long procedures.
