The DeRoyal Double-Strung Cotton Balls, model 30-031, are tiny, sterile, and highly specialized cotton balls designed for precise medical and surgical applications. This product is supplied in 50 packs per case, with 5 cotton balls per pack, totaling 250 cotton balls per case.
Key features of these cotton balls include:
- Size: Each cotton ball is a tiny ¼ inch (approximately 6mm) in diameter, making them ideal for delicate and precise tasks.
- Double-Strung Design: Constructed with a 15-inch blue silk thread. This double-strung design ensures enhanced durability and prevents unraveling or shedding during use, providing reliability during medical procedures. The long thread also facilitates ease of retrieval after the procedure, minimizing the risk of retained foreign objects.
- X-Ray Detectable: Each cotton ball contains an X-ray detectable radiopaque element. This crucial safety feature allows for easy identification and localization of the cotton ball on X-ray images, providing accountability and significantly reducing the risk of gossypiboma (retained surgical sponges or cotton balls) if accidentally left inside a patient during surgery.
- Sterile: Individually packaged as sterile to ensure safety and minimize the risk of contamination during use, making them suitable for aseptic procedures.
- Latex-Free: Not made with natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions for both patients and healthcare professionals.
- Versatile Applications: These highly absorbent cotton balls are commonly used in various medical settings, including:
- Wound Care: For applying antiseptics, cleaning wounds, or absorbing fluids.
- Surgical Procedures: To absorb blood and secretions, particularly in delicate or confined areas where precise application is required (e.g., neurosurgery, ENT surgery).
- Hemostasis: Applying pressure to stop bleeding.
- Injection Site Preparation: Cleaning and preparing skin before injections.
The DeRoyal 30-031 cotton balls are an essential component for healthcare professionals requiring precision, safety, and sterility in their medical procedures.
