Description

The Laparotomy Sponge Cotton X-Ray Detectable 18" x 18" is a surgical-grade disposable sponge designed for efficient fluid management during operative procedures. Constructed from pre-washed cotton, the sponge provides high absorbency while maintaining softness, ensuring gentle contact with tissue. Its square shape and 18-inch dimensions allow broad coverage of the operative field, supporting effective fluid control and minimizing contamination.

Each sponge incorporates a blue radiopaque element sewn into the hem, allowing detection via X-ray imaging. This feature ensures that all sponges can be accounted for before wound closure, reducing the risk of retained surgical items. A blue loop sewn into the corner facilitates identification and accurate counting of individual sponges throughout procedures, supporting adherence to surgical safety protocols.

The sponges are supplied in soft packs, with five units per pack, designed for single-use applications. Sterile packaging ensures readiness for immediate use and minimizes the risk of contamination, maintaining optimal hygiene standards in the operating room. The disposable design eliminates the need for reprocessing, reducing handling risks and enhancing procedural efficiency.
