Cardinal Health Kerlix Round Radiopaque X-Ray Detectable Packing Sponge

Yes, the Cardinal Health Kerlix Round Radiopaque Packing Sponges are primarily intended for skin prepping prior to surgical procedures. Their design incorporates several key features essential for clinical use:

• Radiopaque Safety: They contain a radiopaque element that is X-ray detectable, which is critical for verifying placement and ensuring all materials are accounted for post-procedure.
• Superior Material Quality: Constructed from soft, highly absorbent fabric.
• Low Lint: The material is virtually lint-free, minimizing the risk of particulate residue in the sterile field.

These sponges are available in both sterile and non-sterile configurations to meet diverse procedural requirements.

Yes, these sponges contain a radiopaque element which allows them to be easily detected via X-ray. This feature enhances patient safety during surgical procedures.

Yes, the Cardinal Health Kerlix Round Packing Sponges utilize a specialized, high-quality fabric engineered for critical surgical preparation.

This material provides two primary benefits essential for clinical settings:

• High Absorbency: The sponges are constructed from a soft, highly absorbent fabric, ensuring effective fluid management and cleansing during skin prepping.
• Low Lint Residue: They are virtually lint-free, which minimizes the shedding of particulate matter and is critical for maintaining aseptic standards in the operating room.

The Cardinal Health Kerlix Round Radiopaque Packing Sponges are available in both sterile and non-sterile options to suit different procedural requirements. Both options include the essential radiopaque element for X-ray detection.

Available case configurations include:

• Non-Sterile Configuration (5/8” Round):
  • Packaging: 500 sponges per bag, with 2 bags per case.
  • Total Units Per Case: 1,000 sponges.
• Sterile Configuration (5/8” Round):
  • Packaging: 5 sponges per tray, with 128 trays per case.
  • Total Units Per Case: 640 sponges.

The radiopaque element is engineered for critical safety confirmation. It allows the Kerlix Round sponge to be fully visible and detectable during X-ray imaging, which is essential for medical procedures.

This feature ensures patient safety by:

• Allowing medical staff to accurately verify the sponge’s placement during procedures.
• Enabling easy location and confirmation via X-ray after surgery.
• Significantly reducing the risk of retained surgical items (RSIs), providing necessary confirmation before the patient leaves the operating room.

These Kerlix Round packing sponges are designed for critical clinical and surgical applications where cleanliness, absorbency, and visibility are paramount. The primary intended use is:

• Skin prepping prior to surgery

Additionally, their specialized design makes them suitable for use in operating theaters and clinical settings that require reliable post-procedure verification:

• They are essential for any procedure where post-operative retention must be strictly avoided.
• The integrated radiopaque element allows for easy and accurate X-ray detection, confirming the location of the sponge.
• They are offered in both sterile and non-sterile options to meet diverse procedural requirements.

Yes, the Cardinal Health Kerlix Round Packing Sponge is specifically designed for skin preparation prior to surgery.

Its construction ensures optimal performance during prepping procedures:

• High Absorbency: Made from a soft, highly absorbent fabric to effectively handle prepping solutions.
• Virtually Lint-Free: Engineered to minimize residue and foreign particulate matter during use, ensuring a cleaner field.
• Procedural Versatility: Available in both sterile and non-sterile configurations to meet various clinical needs.

A key safety feature is the embedded radiopaque element, making the sponge detectable via X-ray post-procedure for safety and verification.
