Product Description
In veterinary medicine, sponge holders are used across a wide range of procedures, from routine soft tissue surgeries in small animals (such as cats, dogs, and rabbits) to more complex field surgeries in large animals like cattle and horses. For small animal practices, the instrument is commonly employed to clean surgical sites, apply antiseptic solutions like iodine or chlorhexidine, control minor bleeding, and manage wound cavities. In large animal settings, sponge holders are often longer and sturdier to accommodate deep body cavities and thicker gauze pads, especially during procedures like bovine C-sections or equine wound management. Their versatility also extends to uterine cleaning, irrigation, and gentle tissue handling when needed.
