It is available on select configurations, including:

• Section Sponges (Vaginal Packing)
• Gauze Packing Rolls

Yes, select configurations of the Dukal Surgical Gauze & Packing feature folded-in edges. This specific construction detail is crucial for enhancing safety and improving ease of handling during surgical packing applications, especially within the Operating Room (OR) environment.

Yes, the Dukal Corporation Surgical Gauze and Packing products are available in both sterile and non-sterile options, providing flexibility for different operating room procedures. They are made from high-quality 100% cotton woven gauze.

Key details regarding sterility options:

• Sterile Configurations: Available for specific variants, such as the pre-packaged Section Sponges (used for applications like vaginal packing).
• Non-Sterile Configurations: Generally available across the product line, including the bulk 100-yard Gauze Packing Rolls and select Section Sponge variants.

The Dukal Corporation Surgical Gauze and Packing line is specifically engineered for high-quality use within the Operating Room (OR) environment. It is constructed from highly absorbent 100% cotton woven material.

Applications depend on the specific configuration:

• General Surgical Packing: Continuous Gauze Packing rolls are intended for deep surgical packing and absorption, available in bulk lengths up to 100 yards.
• Specialized Wound and Cavity Management: Section Sponges and Vaginal Packing are pre-sized (e.g., 4” x 36”) for use in specialized surgical procedures.

For enhanced safety and accountability, many sterile and non-sterile options are available with an X-Ray detectable element.

The Dukal Surgical Gauze and Packing line offers two primary woven mesh counts, which are utilized based on the intended purpose and ply count:

• 28 x 24 Mesh: This mesh count features a finer, tighter weave. It is commonly found in the bulk Gauze Packing Rolls (available in 1/2”, 1”, and 2” widths) and specific 4-Ply configurations.
• 2 x 1 Mesh: This is a more open, looser weave. This density is primarily used for thicker items, such as the 8-Ply Section Sponges and specialized Vaginal Packing variants, which require greater bulk and enhanced absorbency.
