Frequently asked questions
Are these dressings suitable for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, these AMD Ritmed tracheostomy dressings are latex-free, making them a safe and suitable choice for patients with sensitivities or latex allergies.
Is the material gentle on sensitive skin?
Absolutely. These sponges are made from 100% cotton, which is highly regarded for its natural softness and gentle touch against the skin, helping to maximize patient comfort during care.
How absorbent is the 12-ply construction?
The 12-ply thickness is specifically engineered for high performance in exudate management. The dense layering provides superior structural integrity and absorbency compared to thinner sponges, ensuring effective moisture control around the tracheostomy site.

Each case contains a total of 2000 sponges. They are conveniently organized into 10 boxes, with each box containing 200 individual packets, making it easy to manage your inventory.
Can I use these for other types of wound care?
While these are specifically engineered for tracheostomy sites, their high-quality 100% cotton material makes them versatile for various absorbent needs. However, ensure you follow your medical professional’s guidance regarding the appropriate level of sterility and dressing type for specific wound types.
Do I need to secure these with additional tape?
