The McKesson X-Ray Detectable Surgical Laparotomy Sponges offer enhanced safety and visibility during abdominal procedures. These sterile, single-use sponges are made from 100% absorbent cotton and measure 12 x 12 inches, providing ample surface area for various surgical tasks. The 4-ply construction ensures effective absorption of fluids and blood around the surgical field, maintaining a clear operating environment. A key feature is the inclusion of radiopaque blue barium sulfate strands woven throughout the sponge. This allows for easy detection under X-ray in the unlikely event a sponge is accidentally left behind after surgery. Packaged conveniently in a soft pack of five prewashed sponges, these McKesson sponges promote sterility and hygiene during surgical procedures.
