Sims-Maier Polypus And Dressing Forceps
The Sims-Maier forceps is a long sponge and dressing forceps with ring jaws. It measures 28 cm and comes straight or curved.
Ring jaws
Ring jaws grip a folded sponge across a wide area. So the sponge stays put while you swab. Also, the same jaws can grip a strip of gauze for packing.
Straight or curved
Choose straight jaws for work along the axis of the speculum. Instead, curved jaws angle toward the cervix or vaginal fornix. Therefore, many teams keep one of each on the vaginal surgery tray.
28 cm reach
At 28 cm, it offers the longest reach among our swabbing patterns here. Because of that, it suits deep vaginal and uterine work. Meanwhile, the hand stays far from the field.
Everyday gynecology use
Theater teams use the Sims-Maier forceps for prepping and swabbing. In addition, they use it for packing in vaginal surgery. Then, at the end of the case, it helps remove sponges from deep spaces.
Care of Sims-Maier forceps
Take any sponge out of the rings before cleaning. Next, brush the inside of each ring where fibers collect. Finally, dry the instrument and store it where its length cannot flex against other items.
