Typical applications include general wound care, wound cleansing, application of ointments, absorbing fluids, and cushioning under dressings. It can also be used for non-medical purposes such as cleaning instruments and surfaces when sterility is not required.

Usage Guidelines

Always follow facility protocols when using gauze sponges. Clean and prepare the wound site before applying as a secondary dressing or absorbent layer. Because these sponges are non-sterile, they should not be applied directly to open wounds unless sterilized beforehand. Dispose of used sponges according to local regulations and infection control guidelines. For sterile wound applications, use the sterile version of Dukal gauze sponges.
