McKesson Sterile USP Type VII Gauze Sponge, 4 x 4 Inch, Eight Ply

The McKesson Sterile USP Type VII Gauze Sponge is a versatile 4 x 4 inch, eight-ply cotton sponge designed for everyday wound care in clinical settings and at home. Made from high-grade 100% cotton, it's ideal for dressing, cleaning, prepping, and packing wounds, making it a dependable staple for anyone managing minor cuts, surgical sites, or chronic wounds.

Each sponge is built with eight plies of absorbent gauze that quickly soak up drainage and fluid while providing gentle cushioning over the wound bed. The reduced-lint construction helps keep the wound area clean by minimizing loose fibers, and because these sponges are intended for single-use, they support a hygienic routine every time you change a dressing. Whether you're cleansing skin before a procedure or securing a fresh dressing, this gauze delivers consistent, reliable performance.

These sponges are sterile and meet USP Type VII standards, meaning they conform to the specifications of the United States Pharmacopeial Convention for quality and consistency. They measure 4 x 4 inches and are available in multiple pack, box, and case options to match your needs, from a single pack up to bulk cases. Wound care supplies like these are typically FSA/HSA eligible. Select your preferred quantity below to order.
