Dukal 2495 - Super Sponges, Medium, 32-Ply, Sterile, 10/TY, 48 TY/CS
The Dukal 2495 Super Sponges are sterile, high-absorbency medical sponges designed to provide reliable wound care and surgical support. Each sponge is medium-sized and constructed with 32 ply layering, offering superior absorbency and strength compared to standard gauze sponges. They are packaged 10 per sterile tray with 48 trays per case, ensuring convenience, sterility, and efficiency in clinical settings.
Key Benefits
The multi-ply construction enhances absorbency, making these sponges ideal for managing moderate to heavy wound exudate. Their soft texture minimizes trauma to the wound bed and surrounding tissue, while the sterile, single-use design reduces contamination risk. Packaged in trays, they promote aseptic handling and streamline supply management in operating rooms and treatment areas.
Compatibility and Applications
These sponges are suitable for use across a wide range of medical and surgical environments, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, urgent care centers, and home healthcare. They are commonly used for wound dressing, surgical procedures, wound packing, general wound cleansing, and as absorbent padding for trauma care.
Usage Guidelines
Open the sterile tray only when ready for use. Apply the sponge directly to the wound site to absorb exudate or use as a sterile barrier during procedures. Change the sponge according to wound care protocol or when saturation occurs. Dispose of the sponge in accordance with medical waste regulations. Do not reuse or re-sterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal Super Sponges are manufactured under strict quality controls to meet medical device standards. They are sterile, single-use, and compliant with regulatory requirements for wound care products. Packaging provides clear labeling to confirm sterilization status and lot traceability.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to standard gauze pads, Dukal Super Sponges offer higher absorbency and durability due to their 32-ply layered design. This reduces the number of sponge changes required, improving efficiency and lowering supply costs. The tray packaging also sets them apart, enabling easier sterile handling than individually wrapped or bulk packaged gauze sponges.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
These sponges are used by surgeons, nurses, wound care specialists, and caregivers managing moderate to heavily draining wounds. They are commonly applied in surgical procedures, trauma cases, wound packing in emergency settings, and ongoing wound management in long-term care environments.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Maintain sterility by opening the tray only at the point of use. Avoid touching the sponge surface that will contact the wound. Do not apply excessive pressure when absorbing fluids to prevent trauma to delicate tissues. Always dispose of used sponges in biohazard waste containers and replace with a fresh sterile sponge as needed.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For single use only. Do not use if the sterile packaging is damaged or opened. Follow institutional protocols and regulatory requirements regarding wound dressing application, infection control, and disposal of medical waste. Always use under the supervision of trained healthcare professionals.
