The Lap Sponge X-Ray Detectable 18" x 18" is a surgical-grade laparotomy sponge designed for safe and efficient fluid absorption during surgical procedures. Constructed from high-quality cotton, the sponge provides excellent absorbency while maintaining structural integrity. Its square shape and 18-inch by 18-inch dimensions ensure ample coverage for various surgical applications, supporting effective management of fluids and maintaining a clean operative field.

This sponge features a blue radiopaque element sewn into the hem, enabling detection via X-ray imaging. This critical safety 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 of each sponge allows easy identification of individual sponges and facilitates accurate counting throughout procedures.

The product is sterilized and individually packaged in packs of five, ensuring readiness for immediate use in operating rooms. Being sterile and compliant with surgical standards, the sponge provides safe and hygienic handling, minimizing the risk of contamination and supporting patient safety. Its disposable design allows for single-use, preventing cross-contamination between procedures.
