Please Note: All prices are for cases.

Dukal Everyday Care Gauze Sponges (8509) are a reliable, cost-effective solution for routine wound care, site preparation, and general cleaning. Constructed from 100% woven cotton, these 8-ply sponges offer a balanced combination of softness and strength for a variety of non-sterile medical applications. The 8-ply weave provides sufficient absorbency for minor wound management and the application of topical fluids while maintaining a low-profile thickness that is easy to handle.

These gauze sponges are packaged in a non-sterile format, making them ideal for high-volume environments where a sterile field is not required, such as long-term care facilities and physician offices. The 4" x 4" surface area is suitable for covering medium-sized abrasions or for use as a secondary dressing to protect skin. The cotton fabric is designed to be low-linting and highly breathable, ensuring patient comfort during routine dressing changes or mechanical skin prepping.

Contraindications

Do not use these non-sterile sponges in surgical procedures or on deep, open wounds requiring a guaranteed sterile environment, as this increases the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

Do not utilize the sponges as a permanent internal packing material, as they are intended for temporary clinical use only.

Warnings and Precautions

Ensure the wound site is evaluated by a clinical professional to determine if a sterile or non-sterile dressing is appropriate for the current stage of healing.

Monitor the dressing frequently for strike-through or saturation. If the gauze becomes saturated, it must be replaced immediately to prevent skin maceration and maintain a healthy wound environment.

Always dispose of used gauze sponges in accordance with facility biohazard waste protocols. Materials contaminated with blood or bodily fluids must be treated as potentially infectious.

This product is designed for single-patient, single-use only. Reuse of a gauze sponge is a high-risk cross-contamination hazard and is strictly prohibited in any clinical setting.
