Sterile Gauze Sponges - 2000 Count | Low-Lint Pads for Wound Care

The McKesson Woven Cotton Gauze Sponges Case is a high-volume, medical-grade general purpose dressing solution engineered for busy clinical environments, dental practices, surgical centers, and comprehensive industrial first aid programs. Fabricated entirely from 100% pure textured cotton, these square 4" x 4" sponges utilize a dense, 12-ply structural layering pattern that accelerates liquid absorption, fluid containment, and capillary wicking action away from sensitive treatment surfaces.

Because they are packed non-sterile, these bulk sponges are highly optimized for fast-paced procedures where individual sterile paper wrapping is unnecessary and inefficient. To maximize operational workflow, the sponges are systematically indexed within their internal packages in exact groups of 10. This design helps reduce counting errors and improves efficiency for medical personnel and dental assistants during rapid-prep situations. The advanced woven construction is carefully engineered to deliver exceptionally low-linting performance, minimizing the risk of loose particulate contamination during skin prepping, general wound cleaning, dental packing, or medical instrument maintenance.

Core Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can these non-sterile sponges be used to dress an open wound?

Because these are non-sterile sponges, they should not be applied directly as a primary dressing onto highly compromised or open surgical wounds where sterile conditions are legally and medically mandatory. They are intended for secondary dressing protection, initial outer fluid cleaning, ointment application, skin prep, dental packing, and general workspace sanitation.

What does "12-Ply" mean for this gauze case?

"Ply" refers to the number of layer folds built into a single sponge. While standard retail light-duty gauze is often thin 4-ply or 8-ply, this 12-ply design features twelve overlapping layers of woven cotton stitched tightly together. This makes the pad much thicker, softer, and significantly more absorbent.

How are the 2,000 sponges packed inside the box?

They are not floating loosely inside the box. The master case contains 10 sealed paper sleeve packs. Each of those packs contains 200 sponges, which are further sub-divided and indexed internally into groups of 10 for painless inventory tracking and hygienic extraction.
