Tying Note

Cut the foam as wide as the width of your hemostat jaws. Heat the jaws with a lighter or other flame source and when hot, insert the foam strip into the heated jaws and close the jaws. When opened the result will be a segmented foam body.

Another option to creating the segmented body is the Hareline Material Clamp

The segmentation is only an option to create the body. If you lack the tools, then just omit the process.
