Foerster Forceps
About this item
Foerster Forceps, also known as Foerster sponge forceps or Foerster-Ballenger forceps, are a surgical instrument commonly used in medical procedures like gynecology and obstetrics. These forceps are named after the German surgeon Heinrich Foerster. The primary purpose of Foerster forceps is to grasp and hold surgical sponges or other materials.
- Surgical grade stainless steel
The serrated jaws help prevent slippage and ensure a firm grip. The easily recognizable, hexagon-shaped handles aids in distinguishing and handling this instrument, differentiating it from other surgical forceps. This handle also provides a secure grip, especially when you are wearing gloves or your hands are slippery. The hexagonal handle prevents the forceps from rolling when you set them down on a flat surface.
Choose either a curved or a straight, serrated tip. Material suitable for autoclaving or chemical sterilization. Always clean surgical instruments promptly after use to prevent staining and ensure a longer useable life.
