Dukal Sterile USP Type VII Gauze Sponge, 4 x 4 Inch, 12-Ply

The Dukal Sterile Gauze Sponge is a versatile 4 x 4 inch, 12-ply woven-cotton dressing designed for everyday wound care in clinical settings and at home. Made from 100% woven cotton that meets USP Type VII standards, it's ideal for cleaning, prepping, packing, and absorbing exudate from wounds, cuts, and surgical sites. Because each sponge is packaged sterile, it's ready to use whenever you need dependable, absorbent coverage.

The soft, absorbent 12-ply construction pulls fluid away from the wound bed to help support a clean healing environment, while the open woven weave conforms gently to the body for comfortable coverage. Sterile individual packaging lets you open only what you need, helping reduce cross-contamination and waste. Use these sponges to dress a wound, apply medication or antiseptic, cushion under tape, or clean and prep skin before a procedure.

These gauze sponges are packaged sterile in a rigid plastic tray with a peel-back lid, with ten sponges per tray for convenient, protected storage. They are available in multiple case options, so choose the quantity that fits your needs from the selector below. Home medical supplies like these are typically FSA/HSA eligible.
