The Dukal X-Ray Detectable Gauze Sponge is a 12-ply cotton gauze sponge built for wound care, surgical prep, and everyday clinical use. Each sponge is woven with a blue filament in a wave pattern so it can be reliably located on an X-ray, making it a smart choice for procedures and settings where accurate counts and detectability matter. It's ideal for hospitals, clinics, surgical suites, and home caregivers who need a dependable, absorbent gauze.

These 4 x 4 inch sponges work by soaking up drainage, exudate, and fluids while cushioning and protecting the wound bed. The generous 12-ply construction delivers extra absorbency and padding, while the soft cotton weave is gentle against skin. Use them for cleaning and prepping the skin, applying topical medications, dressing wounds, and general packing or padding tasks throughout the day.

Manufactured to USP Type VII standards, meaning the gauze meets United States Pharmacopeial Convention specifications for quality and consistency. These sponges are nonsterile and are conveniently banded in tens to ensure an accurate count. They are available in multiple options, including a Box of 100 and a Case of 2000, so you can stock the quantity that fits your needs. This product is typically FSA/HSA eligible.
