Dukal 2463 - Super Sponges Medium, 32-Ply, Sterile, 2/TY, 20 TY/BX, 12 BX/CS
The Dukal 2463 Super Sponges are medium-sized, high-absorbency surgical sponges designed to meet the rigorous demands of clinical and surgical environments. Each sponge is constructed with 32 ply cotton for maximum absorbency and softness, ensuring effective fluid management during medical procedures. Sterile packed in sets of two per Tyvek pouch, these sponges maintain strict aseptic conditions until the point of use.
Key Benefits
The 32 ply construction delivers superior absorbency and fluid retention compared to standard gauze, helping keep the surgical field clear and controlled. The sterile, single-use packaging minimizes the risk of contamination and infection. Prepackaged in Tyvek ensures durability, breathability, and sterility maintenance. The medium size offers versatility for a wide range of procedures, reducing the need for multiple sponge types.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal Super Sponges are compatible with standard surgical and wound care protocols. They are commonly used in operating rooms, emergency departments, and outpatient surgical centers for fluid absorption, wound protection, and maintaining a clear surgical field. Their absorbent capacity makes them ideal for moderate to heavy fluid scenarios.
Usage Guidelines
Open the Tyvek pouch using aseptic technique immediately prior to use. Place the sponge directly onto the wound or surgical site to absorb blood and exudate. Replace sponges as needed when saturated to maintain a clean field. Dispose of used sponges according to institutional biohazard waste policies. Do not reuse or resterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal 2463 Super Sponges are manufactured in compliance with recognized medical device quality standards. They are sterile, single-use products designed to meet FDA and CE requirements for surgical dressings and sponges. Tyvek packaging provides validated sterility assurance recognized across healthcare facilities worldwide.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with basic gauze sponges, Dukal Super Sponges feature 32 ply construction that delivers greater absorbency and strength. The sterile Tyvek packaging offers superior protection compared to paper wrap alternatives, extending shelf life and reducing contamination risks. Their balance of absorbency, sterility, and convenience makes them a reliable choice over lower-grade or non-sterile gauze products.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
These sponges are designed for use by surgeons, perioperative nurses, emergency clinicians, and wound care specialists. Common application scenarios include surgical procedures, trauma wound management, postoperative wound care, and high exudate wounds requiring rapid fluid control. Their medium size makes them especially versatile for both minor and major procedures.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store sponges in a clean, dry environment within the temperature range indicated on the packaging. Always check the sterile barrier before use and discard any compromised pouches. Use aseptic technique when opening and handling to maintain sterility. Dispose of after single use. Do not attempt to wash or reprocess sponges.
Regulatory and Safety Information
These sponges are intended for single use only. Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize. Always follow institutional infection control policies when handling and disposing of biohazardous waste.
