The Dukal 412-10 Type VII Gauze Sponges are high quality sterile wound care products made from 100 percent woven cotton for superior absorbency and softness. Measuring 4 x 4 inches and constructed with 12 ply thickness, these sponges are designed to meet the demanding needs of surgical, clinical, and first aid procedures.

Key Benefits

The sterile design minimizes infection risk, making the sponges safe for direct contact with wounds or surgical sites. The 12 ply construction provides excellent absorbency, helping to manage wound exudate efficiently while maintaining a clean environment. The soft, lint free material ensures patient comfort and minimizes irritation. Each tray is sterile and ready to use, saving clinicians preparation time and supporting streamlined procedural efficiency.

Compatibility and Applications

These gauze sponges are compatible with standard wound care practices and medical trays used in hospitals, surgical centers, clinics, and emergency departments. They can be used for cleaning, dressing, packing, and general wound management. Their 4 x 4 inch size makes them versatile for various wound types and medical procedures, including post operative care, minor surgery, and general patient treatment.

Usage Guidelines

Ensure hands are clean or gloved before handling the sponges. Open the sterile package only when ready to use. Apply directly to the wound or use as a secondary dressing to absorb exudate. Replace sponges according to wound care protocol or when saturation occurs. Dispose of used sponges according to facility biohazard disposal procedures. Do not reuse or re-sterilize.

Comparison with Competitor Products

They are also used in outpatient and home healthcare environments requiring sterile, absorbent dressings for wound maintenance and protection.
