Surgical Gauze Ball Swab

Description

The Multigate XRD Gauze Ball (Pudding Sponge) is a sterile, single-use swab constructed from 100% cotton gauze rolled into a compact ball for dependable absorption and gentle tissue contact. Designed for use in perioperative and procedural settings, it incorporates an X-ray detectable element to assist with intraoperative counting and post-procedural imaging. The large size and soft, conformable cotton structure support effective fluid management while maintaining visibility against tissue with its white coloration.
