Sterile Surgical Laparotomy Sponge - 4-Ply Cotton 18x18 Inch X-Ray Detectable

Premium Sterile Laparotomy Sponges for Critical Surgical Procedures

Ensure optimal surgical outcomes and patient safety with these professional-grade sterile laparotomy sponges, meticulously engineered for demanding abdominal and thoracic surgical procedures. Crafted from 100% pure cotton and featuring advanced x-ray detectability, these prewashed surgical sponges deliver the exceptional absorbency, reliability, and safety features that surgical teams require in the operating room.

Superior 4-Ply Cotton Construction

Each laparotomy sponge is expertly constructed with four layers of premium 100% cotton material, providing outstanding fluid absorption capacity while maintaining structural integrity throughout even the most complex surgical procedures. The multi-ply design creates a highly absorbent yet durable sponge that effectively manages blood and bodily fluids without shredding, linting, or leaving fibers in the surgical field. The soft, pliable cotton construction conforms easily to anatomical contours, allowing surgeons to efficiently pack and protect delicate tissues during abdominal and thoracic operations.

Critical X-Ray Detectability for Patient Safety

Patient safety is paramount in surgical care, which is why these laparotomy sponges feature integrated x-ray detectable elements that ensure complete visibility on radiographic imaging. In the rare event that a sponge count discrepancy occurs, the x-ray detectable design allows surgical teams to quickly and accurately locate any retained sponges through standard radiographic procedures, significantly reducing the risk of retained surgical items and supporting your facility's patient safety protocols. This critical safety feature provides peace of mind for surgical teams and protects patients from potential complications.

Prewashed for Immediate Surgical Use

These laparotomy sponges arrive prewashed and ready for immediate use in sterile surgical environments. The thorough prewashing process removes manufacturing residues, loose fibers, and potential contaminants, ensuring that each sponge meets the highest standards of cleanliness and purity required for direct contact with internal tissues and organs. The prewashing also enhances the sponges' absorbency, allowing them to immediately begin wicking fluids upon contact without any initial saturation delay.

Sterile Soft Pack Packaging

Each sponge is packaged in convenient sterile soft packs that maintain product sterility until the moment of use while minimizing storage space requirements in your operating room supply areas. The soft pack format is easy to open with sterile technique, allowing scrub technicians and circulating nurses to efficiently deliver sponges to the sterile field without compromising the sterile environment. The flexible packaging also reduces waste volume compared to rigid packaging alternatives.

Optimal Size for Abdominal Procedures

Measuring a generous 18 inches x 18 inches, these large-format laparotomy sponges provide extensive coverage for abdominal packing, organ protection, and fluid management during major surgical procedures. The substantial size makes them ideal for:

• Laparotomy Procedures: Abdominal exploration, bowel resection, and general abdominal surgery
• Organ Protection: Gentle retraction and protection of abdominal organs during surgical exposure
• Fluid Management: Efficient absorption of blood, irrigation fluids, and bodily secretions
• Thoracic Surgery: Chest cavity procedures requiring large absorbent materials
• Trauma Surgery: Emergency procedures requiring rapid fluid control
• Gynecological Surgery: Major pelvic and abdominal gynecologic procedures
• Urological Surgery: Complex urologic procedures involving abdominal access

Single-Use Hygienic Design

Designed exclusively for single-use application, these disposable laparotomy sponges eliminate any risk of cross-contamination between patients and support the most rigorous infection prevention standards. Each sponge is used once during a surgical procedure and then properly disposed of according to biohazardous waste protocols, ensuring that every patient receives fresh, sterile materials. The single-use format also eliminates the significant costs and quality control challenges associated with reprocessing reusable surgical textiles.

Latex-Free for Universal Safety

Manufactured without natural rubber latex, these laparotomy sponges are completely safe for use with latex-sensitive patients and healthcare workers. The latex-free construction eliminates the risk of latex-induced allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, or sensitization, allowing your surgical team to focus on the procedure rather than managing allergy concerns. This universal compatibility ensures you can confidently use these sponges with all patients without pre-screening for latex allergies.

Professional Quality You Can Trust

These surgical laparotomy sponges meet the exacting quality standards required for critical surgical applications. The consistent construction, reliable absorbency, and dependable x-ray detectability make them an essential component of your surgical supply inventory. Surgical teams can trust these sponges to perform reliably procedure after procedure, supporting optimal surgical outcomes and patient safety.

Efficient Inventory Management

Available in convenient packaging options, these laparotomy sponges help you maintain appropriate inventory levels while ensuring your operating rooms always have adequate supplies for scheduled and emergency procedures. The standardized sizing and consistent quality make reordering simple and predictable, supporting your supply chain management and cost control efforts.
