Each sponge is integrated with X-ray detectable threads. These elements allow for reliable identification and location of the sponge during or after invasive surgical procedures.
How are the sponges packaged for the OR?
To maintain strict aseptic conditions, the sponges arrive sterile. They are organized into rigid trays, with five sponges per tray, ensuring they are ready for immediate use in standard operating room protocols.
Can these sponges be washed and reused?

What material are these surgical sponges made of?
These sponges are manufactured from 100% cotton. This material is selected for its superior softness and high absorbency, which is essential for effective fluid management during surgery.
