Dukal 2487 - Super Sponges, Medium, 32-Ply, Sterile, 5/TY, 120 TY/CS
The Dukal 2487 Super Sponges are sterile, 32 ply, medium-sized sponges designed for superior absorbency and strength. Each sterile tray contains 5 sponges, with 120 trays packaged per case for bulk hospital or clinical use. Manufactured from high-quality material, these sponges are crafted to provide reliable wound care, fluid absorption, and cushioning during medical procedures.
Key Benefits
The 32 ply construction ensures enhanced absorbency compared to standard sponges, allowing for efficient fluid management. The sterile, single-use format reduces contamination risks and supports infection control protocols. The medium size is versatile, providing adequate coverage for a range of wound care needs, while the soft yet durable material helps protect sensitive tissue.
Compatibility and Applications
Dukal Super Sponges are compatible with a wide range of clinical procedures and can be used in operating rooms, emergency departments, outpatient clinics, and wound care centers. They are commonly used for wound dressing, general patient care, fluid absorption during surgical procedures, and as cushioning or packing material when required. Their sterile packaging makes them suitable for direct contact with open wounds or surgical sites.
Usage Guidelines
Use aseptic technique when opening the sterile tray. Apply the sponge directly to the wound or surgical site as directed by clinical protocol. Replace as needed when saturated or compromised. Dispose of used sponges in accordance with institutional biohazard waste procedures. Do not reuse or re-sterilize. Always follow facility guidelines for dressing selection and frequency of change.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
Dukal sterile products are manufactured under strict quality assurance systems that comply with international medical device standards. The sponges are sterile and single-use, designed to meet infection control and patient safety requirements. Packaging should be checked for FDA clearance, CE mark, or other regulatory approvals applicable in your region.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to standard gauze pads, Dukal Super Sponges feature a thicker 32 ply design, giving them superior absorbency and durability. This reduces the need for frequent changes during procedures, enhancing clinical efficiency. Their sterile packaging in trays provides convenience and organization, unlike non-sterile bulk gauze alternatives that may increase contamination risks.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
These sponges are primarily used by surgeons, nurses, wound care specialists, and emergency medical staff. Common application scenarios include surgical procedures requiring high absorbency, postoperative wound care, trauma dressing, and general patient care where fluid management and sterility are critical.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store sponges in a clean, dry area at controlled room temperature. Inspect packaging before use and discard if damaged. Always use aseptic technique to maintain sterility. Replace sponges promptly when saturated to maintain an optimal healing environment. Do not wash or reuse, as this compromises safety and effectiveness.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This product is intended for single use only. Do not use if the sterile barrier is broken or compromised. Dispose of used sponges according to facility and local regulations for biohazard waste. Ensure compliance with infection control guidelines and institutional policies when using sterile sponges in clinical practice.
