The Dukal CT-04B OR Towels are sterile, high-absorbency surgical towels designed for optimal performance in operating rooms and procedural settings.

Key Benefits
These towels provide excellent fluid absorption, helping maintain a clean, dry surgical environment. The lint-free cotton construction reduces particulate contamination, safeguarding the sterile field. Their durable weave supports repeated handling without tearing or fraying, while the blue color enhances visibility against standard surgical drapes and instruments. Individually sterilized packaging ensures readiness for immediate use, reducing setup time and supporting infection control protocols.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal CT-04B towels are compatible with all standard operating room and procedure tray setups. They are widely used in hospitals, surgical centers, emergency rooms, and outpatient facilities. Common applications include general surgery, wound irrigation, prepping sterile fields, and cleaning instruments during procedures. Their absorbent nature also makes them suitable for fluid management in high-moisture environments.
Usage Guidelines
Open the sterile pack immediately before use under aseptic conditions. Place the towel within the sterile field or use it to absorb fluids as needed. Dispose of towels following facility guidelines for sterile medical waste. Do not reuse or re-sterilize. Store in a clean, dry environment and avoid puncturing the sterile packaging before use.
