BD 23275-550 - Neuro Patties, 1" x 1", Strung Rayon, Sterile, X-Ray Detectable, 10/PK, 2 PK/CS (Temp Sensitive; Non-Returnable)
The BD 23275-550 Neuro Patties are sterile surgical patties designed for controlled fluid management, tissue protection, and precise handling during neurosurgical and other delicate surgical procedures. Each patty measures 1 inch by 1 inch, or 2.5 cm by 2.5 cm, and is constructed from rayon with an attached thread for enhanced visibility within the operative field.
The rayon material becomes highly pliable when wet, allowing the neuro patty to conform closely to anatomical contours. This adaptability supports controlled placement around delicate tissues and structures where conventional surgical sponges may be too bulky or less conformable.
The BD 23275-550 is X-ray detectable, supplied sterile, and not made with natural rubber latex. It is packaged 10 patties per pack and 20 packs per case, providing a total of 200 neuro patties for hospitals, neurosurgical departments, operating rooms, and specialty surgical facilities. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The product is suitable for hospital operating rooms, neurosurgical departments, specialty surgical centers, and other controlled healthcare environments. Suitability for a particular anatomical application or surgical technique should be determined by the qualified healthcare professional performing the procedure.
Usage Guidelines
Before use, confirm the BD 23275-550 catalog number, 1" x 1" dimensions, strung rayon construction, sterile package integrity, and suitability for the intended procedure. Do not use the product if the sterile packaging is opened, damaged, wet, punctured, or otherwise compromised.
- Use appropriate aseptic technique when opening the package and introducing the patties into the sterile field.
- Maintain the attached thread in a visible and accessible position whenever clinically appropriate.
- Use suitable surgical instruments when instrument-assisted placement or retrieval is required.
- Moisten the patty only when appropriate for the surgical technique and consistent with clinical requirements.
- Apply controlled handling around delicate neurological tissues and anatomical structures.
- Follow established surgical item counting procedures before, during, and after the procedure.
- Account for every neuro patty introduced into the operative field before completing the procedure.
- Dispose of used patties according to institutional infection-control and regulated medical waste procedures.
Healthcare professionals should review current manufacturer labeling and applicable institutional protocols for complete product-specific handling, warnings, storage, and disposal information.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The BD 23275-550 Neuro Patties are intended for professional healthcare use and should be handled in accordance with applicable medical device regulations, infection-prevention procedures, surgical safety protocols, and current manufacturer documentation.
The sterile presentation supports use within controlled surgical environments when package integrity and appropriate aseptic technique are maintained. The X-ray detectable design provides an additional identification feature for retained surgical item prevention procedures.
The attached thread enhances visibility and assists with identification within the operative field. These features should complement established manual counting, visual inspection, count reconciliation, and institutional retained surgical item prevention procedures rather than replace them.
Healthcare facilities and procurement teams should verify current manufacturer documentation for applicable regulatory status, UDI information, sterilization details, expiration dating, material specifications, and other product-specific requirements.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with conventional gauze sponges, the BD 23275-550 Neuro Patties provide a thinner and more conformable profile for delicate neurosurgical applications. Standard gauze products are generally better suited for broad-area absorption, while neuro patties are designed for precise placement around sensitive anatomical structures.
Compared with cotton neuro patties, the rayon construction of the BD 23275-550 is designed to become highly pliable when wet, allowing it to conform closely to anatomical contours. Selection between rayon and cotton patties should be based on the surgical technique, handling requirements, desired absorbency, and clinician preference.
Compared with smaller neuro patties, the 1" x 1" configuration provides a larger square contact area that may be useful when broader localized coverage is required. Compared with elongated patties, the square shape may be preferred for focused tissue protection or fluid management within a defined surgical area.
Similar competitor products may vary in material, dimensions, string configuration, flexibility, X-ray detectability, sterility, and packaging quantity. The BD 23275-550 combines a 1" x 1" rayon profile, attached visibility thread, sterile presentation, and X-ray detectability for professional neurosurgical use.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
The BD 23275-550 Neuro Patties are intended for use by trained healthcare professionals involved in neurosurgical and precision surgical procedures. Typical users may include neurosurgeons, spine surgeons, specialty surgeons, operating room nurses, surgical technologists, and other qualified clinical personnel responsible for surgical field management.
Typical application scenarios include procedures requiring localized fluid absorption, protection of delicate neurological tissue, controlled separation of anatomical structures, or placement of a conformable surgical patty within a confined operative area.
The 1" x 1" configuration is particularly relevant when a compact square patty with broader surface coverage is preferred. The product is well suited for hospitals, neurosurgical operating rooms, specialty surgical centers, and healthcare facilities that maintain formal surgical item accountability procedures.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
The BD 23275-550 is a sterile surgical consumable and should be stored, handled, used, and disposed of according to current manufacturer labeling and healthcare facility procedures. It is not intended to be maintained as reusable surgical equipment.
