Description
SPECIFICATIONS:
These Swab Holding Forceps (25cm / 250mm)—commonly referred to as Rampley Sponge Holding Forceps—are high-utility, elongated surgical instruments engineered specifically for grasping, holding, and manipulating sterile swabs, cotton sponges, and dressing pads. The extended 25cm length provides surgical teams with maximum reach, making them essential for pre-operative skin preparation, absorbing deep-cavity surgical fluids, and performing blunt dissection. Manufactured from premium, corrosion-resistant surgical-grade stainless steel, this foundational instrument is an indispensable component of any general surgery, gynecology, or emergency ward theatre pack.
Key Features
- Elongated 25cm Deep-Reach Design: The extended 25cm shaft provides optimal geometric reach to safely access deep operational fields and abdominal cavities while keeping the clinician's hands out of the visual line of sight.
- Fenestrated Jaws with Inner Serrations: Features large, smooth oval loops (fenestrated jaws) lined with sharp horizontal serrations. This precise design provides an absolute, non-slip mechanical grip on slick gauze swabs or large dressing sponges without tearing the material.
- Multi-Stage Ratchet Locking Handle: Outfitted with an interlocking, multi-level ratchet mechanism near the finger rings. This enables the forceps to securely clamp down and lock onto sponges under varying degrees of pressure, ensuring they stay firmly held without requiring constant manual grip.
- Premium Surgical Stainless Steel: Forged from high-grade stainless steel to ensure maximum tensile strength, exceptional resistance to rust, and long-term durability through repetitive sterilization cycles.
- Satin Anti-Glare Coating: Carefully finished with a smooth satin coating that completely dampens harsh reflections under bright, high-intensity operating theatre lighting.

Available in Straight & Curved Formats:
- Straight (25cm): The industry standard for surface skin prepping, packing, and deep direct clamping.
- Curved (25cm): Optimized for navigating tight anatomical contours or clearing surgical fields in gynecological and pelvic procedures.
