The Dukal 7265 Non Woven I.V. Sponges are high-quality sterile sponges designed for superior absorption and protection during intravenous procedures. Each sponge measures 2 x 2 inches and is constructed with a 6-ply non-woven material that offers excellent softness, strength, and absorbency. Packaged sterile in pairs, these sponges are ideal for maintaining aseptic technique during IV insertions, wound care, and post-procedural cleanup.
Key Benefits
The non-woven construction delivers greater absorbency and softness compared to traditional woven gauze, reducing lint and minimizing skin irritation. The 6 ply layering ensures optimal fluid retention, supporting a clean and dry environment at the IV site. The sterile packaging maintains product integrity and prevents contamination, promoting patient safety in both hospital and outpatient settings.
Compatibility and Applications
Dukal 7265 I.V. Sponges are suitable for a wide range of clinical applications, including IV site care, blood draw procedures, wound cleansing, and minor dressing changes. They are compatible with standard hospital and clinic protocols and can be used alongside tapes, dressings, or transparent film coverings as part of sterile site maintenance.
Usage Guidelines
Ensure hands are clean and sterile technique is followed before opening the package. Peel open the sterile pouch and remove the sponges without touching the inside of the packaging. Place directly over the IV insertion site or wound area as required. Replace with a new sterile pair according to facility protocols or as soon as saturation occurs. Dispose of used sponges in accordance with biohazard waste guidelines.
