Sponge Tissue Forceps Curved 40.6 cm (16.0)

Extended Curved Reach for Controlled Sponge Handling

The Sponge Forceps 16" curved is a general surgery instrument designed to grasp, position, and manage surgical sponges during routine operative handling. Its curved profile supports an angled approach, helping the user work around structures and maintain a practical line of access when a straight instrument is less convenient. The 16" overall length provides extended reach for handling tasks within the operative field while supporting orderly instrument manipulation. As part of the forceps family, it offers a focused solution for sponge control and related soft-material handling where deliberate placement, retrieval, and transfer are required.

Use Cases

• Grasping and positioning surgical sponges during general surgery procedures.
• Retrieving or transferring sponges within the operative field.
• Using the curved profile to approach handling tasks from an angled direction.
• Applying the 16" length when extended reach is useful for sponge-management tasks.
• Supporting organized intraoperative handling of sponges with a dedicated forceps design.
