Sound familiar? You are not alone
- “I need proper sponge forceps for wound preparation training — haemostats are the wrong instrument”
- “I am learning wound care and need the correct instrument for antiseptic sponge application”
- “I want to train with the actual forceps used for surgical site preparation in operating theatres”
- “My nursing programme covers wound dressing management and I need the appropriate instrument”
The MJW Surgical Sponge Forceps Closed Round Body is the correct specialist instrument for wound care training — trusted across the UK, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and USA.
Sponge forceps — clinical design and purpose
- Closed oval ring tip: The distinctive closed oval ring replaces pointed jaw tips — designed to hold surgical sponges, gauze swabs, and dressings without piercing, tearing, or distorting material during application
- Sponge-holding function: Used to hold antiseptic-soaked sponges for surgical site preparation, wound cleaning, haemostatic packing, and sterile dressing application — procedures where a pointed haemostat jaw would pierce the sponge
- 8 inch / 20.3 cm length: Provides reach into wound cavities and over draping without the clinician’s hands entering the sterile field
- Full ratchet locking: Holds sponge securely throughout the procedure without continuous hand pressure
- Heavyweight at 0.067 kg: The heavier construction provides rigidity required to securely hold and manipulate wet surgical sponges
- Round body design: Smooth round cross-section minimises tissue trauma during wound cavity access

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between sponge forceps and haemostatic forceps?▼
Sponge forceps have a closed oval ring tip for holding sponges and dressings without piercing material. Haemostatic forceps have pointed serrated jaws for clamping blood vessels. They are different instruments for different clinical purposes. For haemostats see our Hemostat Locking Forceps (£5.99).
What clinical procedures use sponge forceps?▼
Surgical site antiseptic preparation, wound cleaning with gauze swabs, haemostatic wound packing, and sterile dressing application and removal. Essential in perioperative nursing, wound management, and general surgical technique training.
Why are sponge forceps longer than haemostatic forceps?▼
The 8 inch length allows applying sponges over surgical draping and into wound cavities without hands entering the sterile field — essential for maintaining sterile technique.
Is this autoclavable?▼
Yes. Fully autoclavable for repeated sterilization in medical, nursing, dental, and veterinary environments.
Do you ship to Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and the USA?▼
Yes. We ship worldwide to all EU member states and the USA.
