Description

The X-Ray Detectable Sterile Lap Sponge, measuring 18" x 18", is designed for use in surgical settings where high absorbency and visibility are crucial. This lap sponge is made from absorbent cotton, which allows it to effectively soak up fluids during surgical procedures. The inclusion of 7-inch loops facilitates easy reconciliation, ensuring that the sponge can be accurately tracked and retrieved during surgery, minimizing the risk of retained foreign objects.

Each sponge is prewashed and delinted, ensuring cleanliness and a low particulate count. This pre-processing step helps reduce the risk of contamination and ensures that the sponges meet the strict standards required for sterile environments. The low particulate count further contributes to maintaining a sterile field during procedures, preventing potential complications associated with foreign particles.

Designed with x-ray detectable features, the sponges provide an added layer of safety in the operating room. If a sponge is unintentionally left behind, its visibility on x-ray imaging ensures that it can be quickly located and removed, preventing potential harm to the patient.The sponges are individually packed in sterile conditions and come in a convenient 10-count pack, with 20 packs per case.
