Caliber™ Gauze Sponges - Type VII, Sterile, 8" x 4", 12-Ply, 2/pk, 25 pk/bx, 20 bx/cs

The Dukal Caliber™ Type VII Gauze Sponges are premium-grade wound care essentials designed to meet the rigorous standards of surgical and clinical environments. These sponges are manufactured from 100% USP Type VII cotton, ensuring a high-quality weave that is both soft and highly absorbent. The multi-ply construction provides substantial thickness for managing wound exudate, while the folded edges virtually eliminate the risk of loose threads or lint contaminating the wound site. These sponges are an ideal choice for procedures requiring a sterile field and dependable fluid management.

Each pack contains two sterile sponges, packaged in a convenient peel-back pouch that ensures aseptic delivery. 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 available in this series offer versatile coverage for surgical incisions and general wound debridement.

Please note: All prices are for cases.
