Gentell Dupaque X-Ray Detectable Sponge

The Gentell Dupaque sponges are specifically designed to enhance patient safety through several critical features:

• X-Ray Detectable: They contain embedded barium sulfate strands that allow for immediate and easy visualization under X-ray imaging. This feature is crucial for preventing retained surgical items (RSIs) by ensuring the sponges can be reliably detected and accounted for during and after procedures.
• Latex-Free: The composition is free from natural rubber latex, making them safe for use with patients who have latex sensitivities or allergies.
• Low-Linting Material: Constructed from 100% cotton, the highly absorbent material minimizes lint particulate shed, which is important for maintaining a clean surgical field.
• Sterile Availability: All configurations are offered in sterile packaging, supporting aseptic techniques required for critical surgical and wound care applications.

The Gentell Dupaque X-Ray Detectable Sponges are consistently packaged with 10 sterile sponges per tray, regardless of the size or ply configuration you select.

While the tray count is uniform, the overall case quantity varies depending on the sponge dimensions:

Yes, the Gentell Dupaque X-Ray Detectable Sponges are specifically designed for use in surgical settings and operating rooms where strict accountability for materials is critical.

They are essential for procedures where visibility under fluoroscopy or radiography is required. The primary benefit is their X-ray detectable safety feature, which includes barium sulfate strands integrated into the woven material to ensure clear visualization on X-ray images, preventing retained foreign objects.

These highly reliable sponges offer:

• Superior Absorbency: Made from 100% cotton for effective fluid management.
• Low Lint: Designed to minimize lint production in critical environments.
• Patient Safety: They are provided sterile and are confirmed to be latex-free.

Yes, the Gentell Dupaque X-Ray Detectable Sponges are manufactured without natural rubber latex.

This is a critical feature that supports safer use in diverse medical settings, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and making them suitable for patients with latex sensitivities.

Yes, these surgical sponges are made from 100% cotton, ensuring both a fluffy texture and high performance in critical settings. They offer several material benefits:

• High Absorbency: Designed for rapid and reliable fluid uptake.
• Low-Linting: Constructed to minimize particle shedding, which is vital in sterile environments.
• Latex-Free: The composition does not contain natural rubber latex, promoting safety for patients and staff with sensitivities.

Yes, the Gentell Dupaque X-Ray Detectable Sponges are offered exclusively in sterile configurations.

Key details regarding the sterility and packaging include:

• Sterility: They are packaged and sold only in sterile formats, making them highly reliable for aseptic surgical and critical medical procedures.
• Packaging: Components are packaged 10 sponges per tray. The specific case count depends on the variant purchased (e.g., 128 trays/cs for 3” x 3” sizes).

Yes, these surgical sponges utilize high-quality materials, primarily 100% woven cotton, designed for procedural excellence.

• Superior Absorbency: The 100% cotton material provides a fluffy texture and is highly absorbent, making it effective for fluid management.
• Low-Linting Design: The woven construction is specifically designed to be low-linting, which helps to minimize the introduction of foreign material during use.
• Safety Feature: A crucial component integrated into the cotton is the inclusion of barium sulfate strands, ensuring the sponge is X-ray detectable for reliable post-procedure accounting.

Gentell Dupaque X-Ray Detectable Sponges are offered in a range of sizes and ply options:

• Sizes: 3” x 3”, 4” x 4”, and 8” x 4”
• Ply: 12-Ply and 16-Ply configurations

Yes, the Gentell Dupaque Sponges are constructed to be highly absorbent while minimizing particulate shed, qualifying them as low-linting.

This low-linting property is a critical feature, especially in surgical and wound care environments, as it helps to minimize fiber contamination during sensitive procedures.

Key material specifications include:

• They are made from 100% pure cotton, which ensures both superior absorbency and a soft, fluffy texture.
