Curity Drain Sponge, 4 x 4 Inch, Six-Ply

Cardinal Health Curity Drain Sponge, 4 x 4 Inch, Six-Ply

The Cardinal Health Curity Drain Sponge is a 4 x 4 inch, six-ply gauze sponge designed specifically for use around catheters, drains, and tracheotomy sites. Its most helpful feature is a pre-cut notch that fits snugly around tubes and drainage devices, making it a smart choice for caregivers, nurses, and anyone managing a wound site with an inserted tube at home or in a clinical setting.

Because the notch is already cut into the sponge, there's no need to reach for scissors and modify a standard dressing yourself. That pre-cut design saves time and helps keep the dressing area clean and consistent. The six-ply construction improves absorbency so the sponge can effectively wick away drainage and exudate, while the lint-free material helps keep wounds free of loose fibers during dressing changes.

This drain sponge is available in multiple options, including a Pack of 1, a Box of 25, and a Case of 300, so you can choose the quantity that matches how often you change dressings. Each sponge measures 4 x 4 inches with a convenient center notch. These products are typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred quantity from the options below to add it to your cart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a drain sponge used for?
A: A drain sponge is placed around a catheter, surgical drain, or tracheotomy tube to absorb drainage and cushion the site. The pre-cut notch lets the sponge fit closely around the tube.

Q: Why does this sponge have a notch cut into it?
A: The pre-cut notch allows the sponge to slide around a drain or tube without you having to cut it yourself, which saves time and helps maintain a clean, uniform fit.

Q: What does six-ply mean?
A: Six-ply refers to the number of gauze layers. More plies means greater absorbency, allowing the sponge to hold more drainage between changes.

Q: Are these sponges lint-free?
A: Yes, Curity drain sponges are made to be lint-free, helping to keep loose fibers away from the wound during application and removal.

Q: How many sponges should I order?
