Description

The McKesson X-Ray Detectable Gauze Sponges, measuring 4 inches by 4 inches (10.2 cm x 10.2 cm) and consisting of 16-ply layers, are essential medical tools designed for sterile wound care and surgical procedures. These sponges are radiopaque, meaning they contain blue x-ray detectable barium sulfate strands woven within the gauze. This feature enables healthcare professionals to easily identify and locate the sponges on x-ray images, ensuring thorough examination and preventing accidental retention post-surgery.

Each sponge is intended for single use, adhering to strict hygiene standards to minimize the risk of cross-contamination and infections in medical settings. Importantly, these sponges are manufactured without natural rubber latex, catering to patients with latex allergies and reducing the risk of adverse reactions.

Packaged conveniently, each tray contains 10 sterile sponges, with 72 trays per case, ensuring ample supply for medical facilities and surgical units. The sterile packaging maintains the integrity of the sponges until use, safeguarding their effectiveness and safety. This systematic approach supports efficient workflow in hospitals, clinics, and surgical centers, where precision and patient safety are paramount.
