Yes, this instrument is constructed entirely from high-grade stainless steel. This premium material is selected for its superior longevity and ability to withstand repeated sterilization cycles, ensuring reliable performance in demanding surgical environments.
Can this be used for multiple procedures?
Absolutely. This is a reusable surgical instrument, specifically designed for repeated use. It offers a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to single-use disposable options.
Does it hold sponges securely during procedures?
Yes, it is designed for maximum control. The instrument features a reliable ratchet locking mechanism located near the finger rings, which allows you to lock the jaws in place securely, ensuring a firm grip on sponges throughout your procedure.
Is the material safe for patients with sensitivities?

Is the design suitable for professional surgical use?
Yes, it follows a standard, precision-engineered design intended for professional medical environments. The combination of finger rings for control and a locking ratchet makes it ideal for consistent, secure performance in surgery or wound care.
Does the instrument arrive sterile?
This instrument is shipped non-sterile. You will need to process it through your facility’s standard sterilization protocols prior to its first use in a clinical or surgical environment.
How long can I expect this instrument to last?
