Description
The Jarit 505‑175 Sponge Holding Forceps is a surgical instrument designed for grasping sponges, gauze, or soft tissue atraumatically during procedures.
This instrument features elongated, gently curved shafts with ring handles and a ratcheting lock, allowing for secure, hands‑free gripping. The distal end consists of broad, smooth, oval jaws with narrow longitudinal slots (slits). These fenestrated/slotted jaws are characteristic of sponge forceps and are designed to hold gauze securely while minimizing tissue trauma.
The smooth, atraumatic jaw surfaces combined with the slot design improve grip on compressible materials like sponges and enhance fluid handling during procedures. The 9-inch length provides extended reach while maintaining precise control.
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument is durable and suitable for repeated sterilization.
