Key Benefits

The combination of high absorbency and softness makes these sponges ideal for protecting delicate wounds and minimizing trauma during dressing changes.

They are used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, dental offices, and surgical centers for wound cleaning, absorption, and dressing protection. These sponges are suitable for use under bandages or as primary dressings for light to moderate exudate wounds.

Usage Guidelines

Before application, ensure the wound area is cleaned and prepared according to clinical protocol. Open the sterile pack carefully and use aseptic technique to apply the sponge to the affected area. Dispose of used sponges after a single use. Do not reuse or resterilize. Follow healthcare facility protocols for dressing changes and disposal of medical waste.
