Key Benefits
The small size and round design allow for precise placement in confined surgical areas. Their high absorbency ensures effective fluid management, keeping the operative site visible. Each sponge is sterile and disposable, supporting infection control protocols. The soft, lint free construction minimizes the risk of fiber shedding and trauma to delicate tissues, enhancing both patient safety and procedural efficiency.

They are suitable for both hospital operating rooms and outpatient surgical centers, where reliable fluid management and gentle tissue handling are critical.
Usage Guidelines
Use aseptic technique when opening the sterile pack and handling the sponges. Apply the sponges directly to the surgical site as needed to absorb fluids or assist with dissection. Replace sponges when saturated or as required by the procedure. Dispose of used sponges in accordance with surgical facility waste management and biohazard disposal protocols.
