Caring Gauze Sponges & Wound Care Supplies

The Caring line by Medline covers the everyday consumables that keep a treatment room, dental operatory, or home wound-care kit stocked — dependable gauze sponges, specialty dental sponges, and patient hygiene basics priced for the volume clinics actually use them at.

Gauze is where most buyers start, and the differences matter more than they look. The Caring Woven Gauze Sponges (PRM21448) and Medline Woven Sterile Gauze Sponges 4" x 4", 12-ply (PRM4412) offer the absorbency and cushioning you want for dressing wounds and cleaning sites, with the tighter weave that holds up to fluid without falling apart. When a sponge might end up out of sight inside a surgical field, the Caring X-Ray Detectable Gauze Sponges (PRM21430LF) — 100% cotton, 16-ply, with a radiopaque thread — let staff confirm nothing was left behind. Sterile versions come individually packaged for direct wound contact; non-sterile options are the cost-effective choice for prep, cleaning, and general use where a sterile field isn't required.

For dental and oral procedures, the Caring Exodontia Sponge (PRM22DS) is a firm 100% cotton sponge sized for extraction sites and controlling bleeding, while the Caring Drain Sponge (PRM256001) is pre-slit to fit neatly around tubes, drains, and trach sites. Rounding out the line, the Medline Caring Toothbrush (MDS136000) — 30 tufts, individually wrapped — is a staple for patient admission kits and daily oral care in long-term care settings.

These supplies fit hospitals, surgery centers, dental offices, and home caregivers alike. For more options, explore our full Gauze & Sponges selection or browse the broader Wound Care category. You can also visit the Honest Medical homepage for everything else on your list.
