The Dukal Corporation Double Strung Tonsil Sponges are specialized surgical sponges engineered for fluid absorption, hemostasis, and tissue dissection during tonsillectomies, adenoidectomies, and head/neck surgical procedures. Constructed from highly absorbent cotton gauze compressed into dense spherical shapes, each sponge is anchored by a 15-inch blue double string for secure surgical tracking and easy retrieval from the operative field. Featuring an integrated x-ray detectable element, these sterile surgical sponges enable clear radiopaque identification under standard O.R. fluoroscopy or x-ray imaging to maintain surgical safety protocols.
