McKesson Sterile X-ray Detectable Gauze Sponge, 4 x 8 Inch, 16-Ply Safe n Simple Integrity Skin Barrier Ring

McKesson X-Ray Detectable Sponges, 16-Ply, Sterile, 4 x 8 Inch

Designed for hospitals, surgical centers, and clinical settings, the McKesson X-Ray Detectable Sponges offer a reliable solution for wound care and surgical procedures where safety and traceability are critical. Each sponge is constructed from 16-ply, 100% cotton gauze, providing substantial absorbency and strength for demanding clinical applications.

A key feature of these gauze sponges is the radiopaque design, which incorporates blue x-ray-detectable barium sulfate strands woven directly into the fabric. This allows clinicians to easily identify a sponge via x-ray imaging should one be inadvertently left in a surgical site, adding an important layer of patient safety protocol to any procedure.

Each 4 x 8 inch sponge is individually sterile and intended for single-use only, helping to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and supporting strict infection control standards. Packaged 10 per tray, these sponges are convenient to store and access in fast-paced clinical environments.

Whether used for wound dressing, surgical prepping, or general absorbent packing, this sterile gauze sponge is a dependable choice for medical facilities that require both performance and accountability in their surgical supplies.
