Frequently asked questions
Are these forceps completely latex-free?
Yes, these Econo Sterile Plastic Sponge Forceps are constructed entirely from plastic and are explicitly not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for environments or patients with latex sensitivities.
Is the locking mechanism secure for holding gauze?

Do I need to assemble the forceps before use?
No assembly is required. These forceps arrive as a fully integrated, single-piece instrument that is ready to perform straight out of the sterile packaging.
