X-Ray Detectable Gauze Sponge

Description

The XRD Maternity Gauze Sponge from Multigate Medical Products is a sterile, single-use sponge designed for reliable fluid management and clear intraoperative visibility. Made from 100% cotton, each square sponge measures 22.5 cm x 22.5 cm and is white to support visual assessment during procedures. An integrated X-ray detectable element allows the sponge to be identified under imaging, assisting with standard counting and verification protocols.

Each sponge has an average weight of 11 g and absorbs up to eight times its own weight, helping manage blood and other fluids effectively. The sterile presentation supports aseptic workflows, and the single-use designation helps reduce cross-contamination risks. Suitable for maternity and broader surgical settings where high absorbency and radiographic detectability are required, these sponges are supplied in convenient pack and carton quantities for inventory efficiency.
