Rampley Polypus And Dressing Forceps

The Rampley sponge forceps hold a swab firmly in serrated oval jaws. Theatre teams use them to paint skin with antiseptic and to swab wounds during surgery.

Skin preparation

Before the first incision, the skin needs a thorough antiseptic wash. Holding the swab on a Rampley keeps gloved hands away from the patient, so the scrubbed team stays sterile.

Two lengths of the Rampley sponge forceps

The 18 cm pair suits skin preparation and shallow wounds. In contrast, the 25 cm pair reaches deep into the abdomen or pelvis.

Serrated jaws

Fine serrations grip the swab without tearing it. Therefore, the swab stays in place even when wet and heavy with fluid.

A classic British pattern

The Rampley appears on general trays across many hospitals. As a result, scrub teams recognise it instantly and know how to load it.

Loading tip

Fold the swab into a neat pad and grip it near the tip of the jaws. This leaves a firm, rounded surface that won’t fray during use.

Rampley sponge forceps options

• 18 cm or 25 cm
• Straight
• Serrated oval jaws

Rampley care

Pick out any trapped fibres, then brush and rinse the jaws. Dry the joint well before sterilising.

How we back each forceps

Before dispatch, a colleague in Atlanta assesses the Rampley forceps piece by piece. Rampley forceps leave our bench with three years against manufacturing defects. Browse the rest of our general surgical range for extra options. A second forceps in the sterile store keeps lists moving. For another approach, view our Foerster forceps. For details on surgical stainless steel, review ASTM F899. If you have a question, try the FAQ list.
