Premium X-Ray Detectable Sterile Peanut Sponges for Surgical Precision

The Medline X-Ray Detectable Sterile Peanut Sponge represents the gold standard in surgical sponge technology, specifically engineered for healthcare professionals who demand uncompromising quality and patient safety during critical medical procedures. This small-diameter (3/8") peanut sponge combines advanced radiopaque detection capabilities with superior absorbency, making it an essential component of your surgical instrument tray.

Advanced Design for Clinical Excellence

Manufactured with premium-grade, high-quality cotton fibers, these sterile peanut sponges are meticulously crafted to minimize linting and fiber shedding—a critical feature that maintains the sterile field integrity throughout even the most delicate surgical interventions.
