The Heywood-Smith Sponge Forceps brings multiple advantages to the operating room. These advantages come in handy to clean blood and other fluids from the surgical site.
For this purpose, the device features a couple of looped jaws supplied with horizontal serrations. Moreover, the jaws have oval fenestrations, and surgeons can use them for grasping dressings. After that, they proceed to remove fluid collections or blood from the operating site.
In addition, the instrument features a reliable ratchet mechanism fitted with multiple indentations. This particular design allows the operator to perform self-retaining sponge clamping. As a result, surgeons avoid the need for an assistant and can manipulate other instruments during the procedures.
All our Heywood-Smith Sponge Forceps are available in premium grade stainless steel with a fine satin finish.
