Frequently asked questions
Are these sponges better than traditional cotton gauze?

Are these safe to use on sensitive skin?
Absolutely. The material is engineered for softness on sensitive tissue, minimizing the risk of irritation while maintaining enough structural integrity for effective cleaning and dressing.
Do these sponges contain any latex?
No, these sponges are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for patients or caregivers with latex sensitivities.

Are there specific storage requirements to keep them sterile?
