Caliber™ Gauze Sponges - Premium, Non-Woven, Sterile, Split Sponge, 4" x 6", 1/pk, 10 pk/bx, 12 bx/cs

The Dukal Caliber™ Premium Non-Woven Split Sponges are high-performance wound care essentials designed to meet the rigorous standards of clinical environments. These sponges are manufactured from a high-quality blend of polyester and rayon, ensuring a soft, low-linting texture that is both durable and highly absorbent. The multi-ply construction provides substantial thickness for managing wound exudate while maintaining a smooth surface that is gentle on sensitive tissue. Featuring a specialized "T-slit" or split design, these sponges are an ideal choice for procedures where a dependable, high-absorbency solution is required to fit around tubes, catheters, or drains.

The Caliber™ series is known for its superior wicking capabilities, drawing fluids away from the wound bed to promote a cleaner healing environment. Whether used for primary wound dressing, site preparation, or as an absorbent layer, these sponges provide the structural integrity and softness necessary for sensitive tissue contact. The various sizes and specialized configurations available in this series offer versatile coverage for surgical incisions, medical tubing management, and general wound debridement in high-volume clinical settings.

Please note: All prices are for cases.
