Post-op Sponge
Post-Op Sponge
Cellulose-Filled, Non-Woven, High Absorbency
Multi-layer post-operative wound sponges with cellulose fluff core and non-woven rayon/polyester outer layer. Higher absorption than all-cotton gauze. Sterile 2/envelope. Latex-free. CE, FDA, and SFDA documented. For external wound drainage — not for intraoperative body cavity use.
Standard post-op sponges do not contain X-ray detectable threads and are not suitable for intraoperative placement inside body cavities. For body cavity use, specify laparotomy sponges or X-ray detectable gauze swabs. Always clarify product type in tender specifications.
Why Cellulose-Filled Outperforms Plain Cotton Gauze
The cellulose fluff core delivers a fundamentally different absorption profile versus woven cotton — essential for managing the heavy drainage volumes common in the first 72 hours after major surgery.
Cellulose Core Absorption
Extra-absorbent cellulose fluff pulp inner fill absorbs and retains significantly more fluid than all-cotton gauze — reducing dressing change frequency and nursing time per patient.
Non-Woven Wound Face
Soft rayon/polyester spunlace outer layer is low-lint and low-adherence. Fluid passes rapidly through to the cellulose core while the wound surface stays protected.
Strike-Through Barrier
Moisture-resistant polyethylene backing prevents fluid from saturating through to clothing or bedding. Sealed edges on all margins stop lateral leakage and lint contamination.
Latex-Free Construction
No natural rubber latex in any component. Safe for latex-sensitive patients — a standard requirement for hospital formulary approval in most markets.
Sterile 2/Envelope Format
Each pair of sponges sealed in individual coated paper envelope for aseptic dispensing. 25 envelopes per box. Standard pallet configuration for high-volume institutional supply.
Full Market Documentation
CE Mark (EU MDR 2017/745), FDA 510(k), SFDA registered, ISO 13485 QMS. LOT-specific compliance documents available for every shipment.
Three-Layer Composite Structure
Rayon/polyester spunlace — soft, low-lint, low-adherence wound surface
Extra-absorbent cellulose fiber fill — superior fluid uptake and retention vs cotton gauze
Polyethylene barrier — prevents fluid strike-through to secondary dressing or clothing
Two Standard Sizes
Select by incision size and wound coverage area required. Custom dimensions available for OEM orders.
