ThreadX X-Ray Detectable Abdominal Sponge, No Tape

Description

ThreadX XRD Abdominal Sponge No Tape is a surgical gauze sponge designed for open procedures where abdominal packing and fluid management are required. Made from 100% cotton gauze, it features a 6-ply construction that supports absorbency and handling during use. The sponge is intended for situations where reliable absorption and clear identification are important parts of the procedural workflow.

A key feature of this product is the internal black X-ray-detectable thread, which is heat-bonded to the gauze. This supports identification on imaging and assists retained-item safety protocols used in surgical settings. The no-tape configuration may suit procedures or preferences where a tape element is not required.

Construction and handling

The sponge is finished with hemmed seams to help reduce fraying and loose fibres. This construction detail can assist with maintaining the integrity of the gauze during handling and use. The 6-ply cotton format also provides a balance of softness, bulk, and absorbent performance appropriate for abdominal applications.

Absorbency and size options

ThreadX XRD Abdominal Sponge No Tape is described as absorbing over 8 times its own weight, making it suitable for fluid control during open surgical procedures. Validated size variants include:

• 22.5 x 22.5 cm
• 30 x 30 cm

These size options allow selection based on procedural needs and clinician preference.
