Dukal 10244 - Tonsil Sponges 7/8", Medium, 100/BG, 5 BG/CS
The Dukal 10244 Tonsil Sponges are sterile, medium sized surgical sponges designed for use in tonsillectomy and other oral or throat procedures. Measuring 7/8 inch, these sponges are tightly woven for durability and designed to maintain their shape when saturated. Each bag contains 100 sponges, with 5 bags per case, ensuring clinicians have a reliable bulk supply for surgical settings.
Key Benefits
The sponges are made with high quality, absorbent material that provides effective fluid control during surgical procedures. Their small size and firm weave allow precise placement in confined areas such as the throat. The sterile packaging reduces the risk of contamination and supports strict infection control protocols. Bulk case quantities ensure cost efficiency and consistent availability in high volume medical facilities.
Compatibility and Applications
These tonsil sponges are compatible with standard surgical instruments used in ENT procedures and are suitable for hospitals, surgical centers, and specialty clinics. They are most commonly applied in tonsillectomies, adenoidectomies, and oral surgeries where effective fluid absorption and control are required.
Usage Guidelines
Verify the packaging is intact before use and maintain sterile technique during handling. Position the sponge as directed by the surgeon to absorb blood and fluids in the operative field. Dispose of sponges immediately after use in accordance with facility guidelines for surgical waste. Do not attempt to reuse or resterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal Tonsil Sponges are manufactured in compliance with medical device quality standards and supplied sterile for single use. Packaging typically indicates compliance with FDA and CE requirements where applicable. Latex free materials ensure safe use for patients with latex sensitivity.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with generic surgical sponges, the Dukal 10244 offers consistent absorbency and a tightly woven design that resists shredding during procedures. Its availability in bulk packaging supports cost savings and logistical efficiency. Many alternatives lack the balance of absorbency and structural integrity provided by this product, making it a preferred choice among surgical teams.

Common application scenarios include controlling bleeding during tonsillectomy, maintaining a clear operative field in throat surgery, and protecting delicate tissue from surgical instruments.
