Are sterile options available?
Yes, the Dukal Peanut Sponges are available in both sterile and non-sterile configurations to meet diverse clinical needs during surgical procedures. These sponges are designed for minor absorption tasks and are also X-ray detectable.
Available configurations include:
- Sterile Options (5 sponges/dissectors per pack, 40 packs per case):
- Peanut Sponge
- Peanut Dissectors (3/8” size)
- Non-Sterile Option (5 sponges per pack, 50 packs per case):

What is the intended surgical use?
The Dukal Peanut Sponges are specifically optimized for providing minor absorption and controlled fluid management during surgical and operative procedures. They are ideal for use in operating rooms.
Key features supporting their surgical utility include:
- Material: Constructed from 100% cotton, ensuring reliable and effective absorption.
- Safety: They are X-ray detectable, featuring integrated radiopaque material. This is essential for safety protocols, allowing the sponges to be located radiographically if retained post-procedure.
- Availability: They are offered in multiple configurations to suit clinical workflow, including standard sterile sponges, sterile 3/8” dissectors, and non-sterile sponges packaged conveniently in C-5 Holders.
What are the available package counts?

Are these high-quality cotton surgical sponges?
Yes, Dukal Peanut Sponges are professional-grade medical supplies engineered specifically for surgical applications, focusing on minor fluid absorption and delicate dissection.
They are distinguished by several critical features designed for safety and efficiency in the operating room:
- 100% Cotton Construction: They are made entirely from pure cotton fibers, ensuring high absorbency and reliable wicking capabilities for fluid management.
- Safety Feature: X-ray Detectable: A crucial element is the integrated radiopaque material, which allows staff to quickly account for all sponges during and after the procedure using standard X-ray equipment.
- Surgical Use: These sponges are ideal for procedures requiring targeted absorption near sensitive tissues and are often referred to as ‘dissectors’.
- Packaging Options: To meet strict aseptic requirements, they are available in multiple configurations, including sterile options (e.g., 5 per pack, 40 packs per case) and specialized non-sterile packs (like those in C-5 Holders) designed to facilitate accurate counting.
