BD 23275-410 - K-Dissector Sponge, " x 9/16", Cotton Twill, 500/CS (Temp Sensitive; Non-Returnable)
The BD 23275-410 K-Dissector Sponge is a compact surgical dissector sponge designed to support controlled tissue dissection, fluid absorption, and procedural site management. Measuring inch by 9/16 inch, the sponge is made from cotton twill and is sized for precise use in surgical areas where a small, manageable sponge is preferred.
The K-Dissector design allows the sponge to be used in a longitudinal or folded configuration according to procedural needs. This versatility helps clinicians adapt the sponge for controlled dissection, localized absorption, and gentle tissue manipulation during appropriate surgical procedures.
Each pack contains five sponges arranged with a count holder to support efficient surgical sponge accounting. The product is supplied in 100 packs per case, providing a total of 500 sponges per case for hospitals, surgical departments, and high-volume procedural facilities.

Compatibility and Applications
The BD 23275-410 K-Dissector Sponge is intended for use within established surgical workflows and may be handled with appropriate surgical instruments when clinically indicated. Its small size and flexible configuration make it suitable for procedures requiring controlled sponge placement, localized absorption, or gentle tissue dissection.
Typical applications may include general surgery and other operative procedures in which a small cotton dissector sponge is appropriate. The sponge may be used in a longitudinal configuration or folded to create a different handling profile according to the surgical technique and clinician preference.
The product is commonly suited for operating rooms, hospital surgical departments, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialty procedural environments. Compatibility with a specific instrument, surgical technique, or anatomical application should always be confirmed according to current manufacturer instructions and facility protocols.
Usage Guidelines
Before use, confirm that the BD 23275-410 catalog number, " x 9/16" dimensions, package configuration, and sponge type are appropriate for the intended procedure. Inspect the package before opening and do not use any product with damaged or compromised packaging.
- Follow established aseptic technique when introducing the product into a sterile surgical field.
- Maintain the sponges in the supplied count holder until required for use whenever practical.
- Use the sponge longitudinally or folded according to the surgical technique and procedural requirements.
- Handle the sponge with an appropriate surgical instrument when instrument-assisted placement or manipulation is required.
- Follow institutional sponge count procedures before, during, and after the surgical procedure.
- Account for all sponges according to the healthcare facility's retained surgical item prevention policy.
- Dispose of used sponges according to facility procedures for contaminated medical waste.
Healthcare professionals should consult the current manufacturer instructions for use and product labeling for complete preparation, handling, storage, warnings, and disposal requirements.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The BD 23275-410 K-Dissector Sponge should be purchased and used in accordance with applicable healthcare regulations, facility policies, and current manufacturer documentation. Product-specific information regarding sterility, regulatory status, material composition, expiration dating, and other safety characteristics should be verified from the packaging and current manufacturer instructions supplied with the product.
Use of the included count holder can support established surgical sponge accounting practices, which are important for reducing the risk of retained surgical items. Healthcare facilities should incorporate the product into their existing operating room safety protocols, counting procedures, infection prevention practices, and quality management systems.
Regulatory approvals and market authorization can vary by jurisdiction and product configuration. Procurement teams should verify current FDA status, UDI information, and other required regulatory documentation when such information is necessary for purchasing or clinical approval.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with conventional flat gauze sponges, the BD 23275-410 K-Dissector Sponge offers a much smaller and more focused profile for controlled surgical dissection and localized fluid management. Standard gauze sponges are generally better suited for broader surface absorption, while K-Dissector sponges are designed for more precise use in smaller procedural areas.
Compared with similar dissector sponges from other medical supply manufacturers, the BD 23275-410 combines compact " x 9/16" dimensions, cotton twill construction, longitudinal or folded use, and an included count holder. These characteristics support both procedural versatility and organized sponge accounting.
Alternative products may differ in material, radiopaque features, packaging configuration, absorbency, dimensions, or count management systems. Healthcare professionals should compare these characteristics carefully and select the product that best matches the procedure, institutional protocol, and surgical safety requirements.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
The BD 23275-410 K-Dissector Sponge is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals involved in surgical and procedural care. Typical users may include surgeons, physicians, operating room nurses, surgical technologists, and other qualified clinical personnel responsible for assisting with dissection and maintaining the operative field.
Typical application scenarios include surgical procedures requiring a small sponge for controlled tissue manipulation, localized absorption, or precise procedural site management. The product is particularly relevant in operating rooms and surgical centers where standardized sponge counting and organized procedural preparation are essential components of patient safety.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
The BD 23275-410 is a procedural surgical supply and should be handled according to its current product labeling rather than maintained as reusable equipment. Proper storage, package inspection, counting, use, and disposal are essential for supporting product integrity and safe clinical practice.
- Store unopened packages under the environmental conditions specified by the manufacturer.
- Protect product packaging from moisture, contamination, excessive heat, crushing, and physical damage.
- Rotate inventory according to expiration dates when expiration dating is provided.
- Confirm the correct catalog number and sponge dimensions before opening the package.
- Keep sponges organized within the count holder until required for the procedure whenever possible.
- Follow standardized sponge counts at all required stages of the surgical procedure.
- Do not modify the sponge in a manner that is inconsistent with the manufacturer's instructions.
- Do not reuse or reprocess the product when labeled for single use.
- Dispose of used products according to applicable infection control and medical waste requirements.
Regulatory and Safety Information
