Dynarex Non Woven Drain and IV Sponges, 6 Ply, Sterile, 4 x 4 Inches

Dynarex Non-Woven Drain and IV Sponges are sterile, 6-ply sponges designed specifically for use around tracheostomy tubes, IV sites, drains, and catheters. Each sponge features a pre-cut fenestration that allows it to slip easily around most tubes and drains without the need for scissors or additional instruments, streamlining clinical workflow and reducing the risk of contamination during placement. The non-woven construction is highly absorbent and produces significantly less lint than standard woven gauze, helping to keep sensitive insertion sites clean and free from fiber debris. Each pair of sponges is packaged in an individual peel-down pouch for convenient aseptic handling, and pouches are arranged in open trays for quick, easy access during procedures. Latex-free and sterile, these sponges are appropriate for use in hospital, clinical, home care, and emergency settings.

Key Benefits & Features

• Pre-Cut Fenestration: Each sponge is pre-cut to fit around most drains, tubes, catheters, and IV sites, eliminating the need for additional cutting instruments during placement and helping maintain a sterile field.
• 6-Ply Non-Woven Construction: The multi-layer non-woven design provides high absorbency and structural integrity, effectively managing drainage and exudate around insertion sites while maintaining a soft, gentle contact surface.
• Less Linting Than Standard Gauze: The non-woven material sheds significantly less lint than traditional woven gauze sponges, reducing the risk of fiber contamination at tracheostomy, IV, and drain sites.
• Peel-Down Pouches for Aseptic Handling: Each pair of sponges is individually sealed in a peel-down pouch, allowing for easy, one-handed aseptic presentation and reducing the risk of contamination during transfer to the sterile field.
• Open Tray Packaging for Quick Access: Pouches are packed in open trays that allow caregivers and clinicians to access individual packs quickly and efficiently without disrupting surrounding supplies.
• Sterile and Latex-Free: Each sponge is individually sterile and latex-free, making it appropriate for patients with latex sensitivities and suitable for use in a wide range of clinical and home care environments.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for use at tracheostomy sites, IV insertion sites, surgical drains, catheters, and other tube or line sites requiring absorbent dressing coverage and protection.

Who Should Be Using This?

Dynarex Non-Woven Drain and IV Sponges are appropriate for healthcare professionals and home caregivers managing tracheostomy tubes, IV lines, surgical drains, or catheters that require regular site dressing changes.

How Do You Use or Apply This Product?

Open the peel-down pouch using aseptic technique and present the sponges to the sterile field without contaminating them. Clean and prepare the insertion or drain site as directed by a clinician. Slide the pre-cut sponge around the tube, drain, catheter, or IV site so that the fenestration fits snugly at the base of the insertion point. Secure as needed with tape or a dressing retention product. Change the sponge as clinically indicated or when it becomes saturated or soiled.
