Thoracotomy Sponge Stick 1S 2.5 cm (1")

Thoracotomy Sponge Stick for Controlled Surgical Sponging

The Thoracotomy Sponge Stick 1S with a 2.5 cm (1") sponge head is designed for precise, controlled placement and retrieval of surgical sponges during thoracic and other open procedures. Its rigid shaft and secure sponge attachment help surgical teams maintain a clear field and reduce the risk of retained sponges. Ideal for operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics, this single-use instrument supports consistent technique and efficient sponge management. The compact 1-inch sponge head is well suited to confined spaces, while the stick length keeps hands at a comfortable distance from the surgical site. Supplied sterile and intended for single use, it integrates smoothly into standard sponge-counting protocols and aseptic workflows.
