The product is suitable for use in hospital operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, specialty surgical facilities, procedural departments, and other controlled healthcare environments. Compatibility with a specific instrument, preparation solution, or surgical technique should be determined according to current manufacturer guidance and institutional protocols.
Usage Guidelines
Before use, confirm the BD 23275-745 catalog number, 1 -inch size, round configuration, package integrity, and suitability for the intended procedure. Healthcare professionals should follow current manufacturer instructions and facility procedures throughout product preparation, use, accountability, and disposal.
- Select the sponge only when its 1 -inch round configuration is appropriate for the intended application.
- Inspect the packaging before use and do not use products from damaged or compromised packaging.
- Use appropriate aseptic technique whenever the product is introduced into a controlled surgical field.
- Use compatible surgical instruments when instrument-assisted positioning or manipulation is required.
- Apply controlled pressure appropriate to the procedure and anatomical area involved.
- Follow institutional sponge counting and accountability procedures when used in an operative field.
- Dispose of used sponges according to applicable infection-control and regulated medical waste procedures.
Healthcare professionals should consult current manufacturer labeling and applicable institutional protocols for complete product-specific handling, storage, warning, and disposal information.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The BD 23275-745 Round Stick Sponge is intended for professional healthcare use and should be handled according to applicable medical device regulations, institutional safety requirements, and current manufacturer documentation.
The X-ray detectable design provides an additional safety feature for surgical environments by supporting identification procedures when necessary. X-ray detectability should complement established visual inspection, manual counting, reconciliation, and retained surgical item prevention procedures rather than replace them.
Healthcare facilities and procurement teams should verify current manufacturer documentation for applicable regulatory information, UDI data, material specifications, package status, expiration information, and other product-specific requirements before clinical use.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared with conventional flat gauze sponges, the BD 23275-745 Round Stick Sponge provides a more compact and focused profile for localized preparation and fluid absorption. Larger flat gauze sponges are often preferred for broad surface coverage, while a round stick sponge can offer greater control in targeted procedural areas.
Compared with flat stick sponges, the round configuration provides a different contact profile that may be preferred for specific preparation techniques, fluid management requirements, or clinician handling preferences. Selection between round and flat designs should be based on the procedure, working area, required surface contact, and institutional protocol.
Similar competitor products may vary in dimensions, material, absorbency, X-ray detectability, packaging configuration, and handling characteristics. The BD 23275-745 combines a 1 -inch round cotton design, excellent absorbency, X-ray detectability, and organized packaging for professional surgical and procedural use.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
The BD 23275-745 Round Stick Sponge is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals involved in surgical preparation and procedural care. Typical users may include surgeons, physicians, operating room nurses, surgical technologists, procedural nurses, and other qualified clinical personnel.
Typical application scenarios include preoperative preparation, localized absorption of blood or other fluids, controlled application of appropriate preparation solutions, and procedural site management where a compact round sponge is preferred.
The product is particularly relevant for hospitals, operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, specialty surgical facilities, and procedural departments that require dependable absorbent supplies and established surgical material accountability practices.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
The BD 23275-745 is a surgical consumable and should be stored, handled, used, and disposed of according to current manufacturer labeling and healthcare facility procedures. Proper storage and package protection help preserve product integrity until use.
- Store unopened products under environmental conditions recommended by the manufacturer.
- Protect packaging from moisture, contamination, excessive heat, crushing, and physical damage.
- Rotate inventory according to expiration dates when expiration dating is provided.
- Verify the correct catalog number, size, and round configuration before use.
- Use only preparation solutions and clinical techniques appropriate for the intended procedure.
- Maintain organized sponge counts whenever the product is introduced into an operative field.
- Do not rely on X-ray detectability as a substitute for established sponge counting procedures.
- Do not reuse or reprocess the product when designated for single use.
- Dispose of used products according to applicable infection-control and medical waste requirements.
Regulatory and Safety Information
The BD 23275-745 Round Stick Sponge should be used only by appropriately trained healthcare professionals and for applications consistent with current manufacturer labeling, professional clinical judgment, and institutional policy.
Before use, verify the product identity, 1 -inch size, package condition, quantity, and all applicable labeling information. When introduced into an operative field, the sponge should be incorporated into established facility procedures for surgical item accountability and prevention of retained surgical items.
The X-ray detectable feature provides an additional method of identification when clinically required but does not replace visual inspection, manual sponge counts, count reconciliation, or other established surgical safety procedures.
Specific FDA status, UDI information, package characteristics, material details, and other regulatory information should be confirmed from current manufacturer documentation when required for purchasing, facility approval, or clinical use.
