McKesson Split Sponges, 4" x 4", 6-Ply Sterile - 16-42046 - LL Medico McKesson Nonwoven Sponge, 2 x 2 Inch, Four Ply McKesson Sterile Nonwoven Sponge, 2 x 2 Inch, Four Ply

McKesson Split Sponges, 4 x 4 Inch, 6-Ply Sterile

The McKesson Split Sponges are sterile drain dressings designed for secure, easy placement around drains, chest tubes, catheters, tracheotomies, and IV sites. The pre-cut split, or "Y," design allows the sponge to fit snugly around tubing and lines without needing to be folded or cut, making dressing changes faster and more efficient for clinicians and caregivers alike.

Constructed from a polyester/rayon blend, each 4 x 4 inch, 6-ply sponge offers excellent absorption and superior wicking to help manage drainage and keep the surrounding skin dry. The low-linting material reduces the risk of fiber shedding near wounds and insertion sites, supporting a cleaner healing environment.

Each pack contains 2 individually sterile sponges, intended for single-use application to help maintain infection control standards in home care, hospital, and clinical settings. Whether managing post-surgical drains or supporting catheter and IV care, these split sponges provide a dependable, absorbent solution trusted in medical supply settings nationwide.
