X-Ray Detectable Gauze

Sponges used in surgery can be responsible for serious complication or even death when they are not easily detected and removed. Their presence is often masked by nearby bone. However, X-ray detectable sponges are affordable, easily detected and suitable for operating room and surgical applications. Within the gauze is a heat-bonded barium sulfate marker to allow vivid and accurate x-ray visibility. With a barium sulfate content of more than fifty-five percent, these particular sponges exceed the minimum requirements.
