Description

The Sponge Neuro 1/2 x 6, 10/PK is a high-quality surgical sponge specifically designed for neurosurgical procedures. Constructed from rayon fibers, the sponge resists disintegration and linting, reducing the risk of granuloma formation in delicate neural tissues. The sterile, x-ray detectable design ensures both patient safety and surgical precision. Each pack contains 10 individually prepared strips, facilitating efficient handling and usage in the operating room.

The sponges are highly pliable when wet, allowing them to conform to irregular anatomical contours. This flexibility makes them ideal for use as patties or strips in neurosurgery, ensuring effective hemostasis and tissue protection. The dimensions of 1/2 x 6 inches provide suitable coverage for precise application while maintaining ease of manipulation.

An x-ray detectable element is securely embedded on one side of each pad, enabling reliable radiographic identification if any sponge is inadvertently retained. A locator string attached to each patty enhances visibility during procedures and assists in identification and retrieval. These features are critical in maintaining surgical safety and minimizing the risk of retained foreign bodies.
