Designed for single use, they integrate seamlessly with surgical instrument kits and draping systems.
Usage Guidelines
Use the sponges in accordance with standard surgical protocols. Maintain sterility until the package is opened, and discard any sponges that come into contact with non-sterile surfaces. Count all sponges before and after use to ensure accurate surgical inventory control. Dispose of used sponges according to hospital infection control and biohazard waste guidelines.
