Frequently asked questions
Do these sponges meet USP Type VII quality standards?
Yes, the Dukal X-Ray Detectable Gauze Sponges meet USP Type VII specifications. This high standard indicates they are constructed from 100% woven-cotton, ensuring excellent quality for absorbency and reliable performance in critical clinical settings.
Are the sponges banded for accurate counting?
Yes, Dukal ensures precise count assurance for all configurations. Both sterile and non-sterile gauze sponges are consistently banded in quantities of 10 to guarantee an accurate count upon dispensing and support crucial count verification procedures in clinical settings.
Does this gauze use high-quality USP Type VII?
Yes, these gauze sponges are made from 100% woven cotton that fully adheres to the USP Type VII standard. This designation confirms the material meets stringent US Pharmacopeia specifications for quality and consistency.
What packaging protects the sterile sponges?
The sterile Dukal X-Ray Detectable Gauze Sponges are packaged to maintain maximum integrity until use. They are supplied in a rigid plastic tray with a peel-back lid.
For improved safety and workflow, all configurations (both sterile and non-sterile) are also banded in quantities of 10 to ensure accurate count verification.
What makes this gauze X-ray detectable?
The X-ray detectability of these Dukal sponges is a key safety feature, ensuring they are easily visible during radiographic examination. This is achieved through specialized components and construction:
- Integrated Blue Filament: A distinct, specialized blue filament is woven directly into the 100% woven cotton material.
- Unique Wave Pattern: This filament is integrated using a unique wave pattern that runs throughout the sponge, guaranteeing reliable and high visibility under X-ray.
- Quality Material: The underlying material meets USP Type VII gauze standards, ensuring high-quality absorbency and performance alongside the crucial detection feature.
Are the gauze sponges available sterile?
Yes, these gauze sponges are available in both sterile and non-sterile configurations to suit various medical needs. The sterile sponges are conveniently packaged in rigid plastic trays with peel-back lids for easy access.
What size and ply options are offered?
These X-Ray Detectable Gauze Sponges are available in multiple configurations to meet diverse clinical requirements, spanning different dimensions and absorbency levels.
Available Options:
- Sizes: 4” x 4” and 8” x 4”.
- Ply Counts (Absorbency): 12-Ply, 16-Ply, 24-Ply, and 32-Ply.
All combinations of size and ply are offered in both Sterile (packaged in rigid plastic trays) and Non-Sterile (bag packaged) versions.
Do these sponges come in versatile ply counts?
Yes, these X-Ray detectable gauze sponges are offered in a range of versatile ply counts to accommodate different clinical and absorbency requirements. The available options include:<ul><li>12-Ply</li><li>16-Ply</li><li>24-Ply</li><li>32-Ply</li></ul>
Are the sponges conveniently banded for accurate counting?
Yes, these Dukal gauze sponges are designed to support Accurate Count Assurance in clinical settings. Both sterile and non-sterile configurations are consistently banded in quantities of 10 sponges. This bundling simplifies inventory management and helps maintain strict adherence to procedural count protocols.
What makes the X-ray detection unique?
The reliability of the X-ray detection is due to its specialized, integrated safety feature: the blue radiopaque filament.
This system guarantees high visibility and accurate identification during medical imaging:
- Integrated Design: A distinct blue filament is permanently woven directly into the 100% woven-cotton gauze material.
- Unique Wave Pattern: The filament follows a unique wave pattern throughout the sponge, which enhances its visibility and ease of identification during radiological procedures.
- Safety Assurance: This design is crucial for safety, helping medical staff confirm counts and verify the absence of accidentally retained sponges following surgical procedures.
