Laparotomy Sponge

The Laparotomy Sponge category at GLORY MEDICAL is specialized for use in major surgical procedures, particularly abdominal surgeries, where effective absorption of blood, fluids, and debris is critical. These large, thick sponges are typically 18x18 inches or larger, made from multiple layers of highly absorbent cotton gauze, ensuring they can soak up large volumes of fluid to maintain a clear surgical field. A key safety feature is the inclusion of a radiopaque marker (a thin strip of X-ray-detectable material) sewn into the sponge, which allows medical staff to confirm removal via X-ray after surgery, preventing accidental retention—a rare but serious complication. Each sponge is sterile, individually packaged, and labeled with size and ply count for easy identification. The cotton material is soft yet durable, designed to resist tearing during use, even when saturated. Laparotomy sponges are also used in other major surgeries, such as thoracic or orthopedic procedures, where large-area absorption is needed. Trusted by surgeons, scrub nurses, and operating room staff, GLORY MEDICAL’s Laparotomy Sponges meet strict medical standards, ensuring safety, reliability, and effectiveness in the most critical surgical settings.
