The ThreadX XRD Abdominal Sponge is a premium surgical gauze sponge constructed from 100% cotton layered gauze, delivering exceptional fluid management across open surgical procedures. Available in multiple sizes, these abdominal sponges are supplied without tape and feature a 6-ply construction that absorbs fluid over 8 times their own weight, ensuring reliable performance in demanding clinical environments.
A black x-ray detectable thread is internally heat bonded to the gauze, providing an essential patient safety measure by allowing sponges to be identified under x-ray imaging if inadvertently retained post-procedure. Hemmed seams prevent fraying to edges, maintaining sponge integrity throughout use and reducing the risk of loose fibres entering the surgical field.
