- Standard non-woven sponge used in medical and dental settings for wound care, general cleaning, and absorption
- Its design and material provide distinct features and benefits over traditional woven cotton gauze
Uses
- Wound dressing:
- The lint-free material makes it ideal for cleaning and covering wounds, as it minimizes the risk of leaving fibers behind
- Absorption during procedures:
- In dentistry, the sponges are used to absorb saliva and blood to keep the work area dry and clear
- General cleaning:
- The sponges are strong and smooth, making them suitable for wiping down instruments and surfaces
- Applying ointments or antiseptics:

Features
- Non-woven rayon/polyester blend:
- This composition gives the sponge a smooth, soft, and strong texture that performs better than conventional cotton gauze
- Lint-free:
- Unlike woven gauze that can shed fibers, the non-woven material is effectively lint-free, ensuring no stray fibers contaminate a wound or are left in a patient's mouth
- Absorbent:
- The 4-ply construction and material blend provide excellent absorbency for managing fluids
- Minimal adhesion:
- The smooth surface of the sponges helps minimize their sticking to wounds
- Compact packaging:
- The product is sold in compact bags, which reduces material waste and saves on storage space in a clinic
- Latex-free:
