What is included
- Box contains 25 sterile pouches (each pouch contains 2 sponges), unless otherwise stated on a specific seller invoice or carton.
- No additional adhesives, tapes, or dressing films are included unless explicitly sold together; purchasers should assume only the sponges are provided.
Condition and packaging

- Packaging formats and case quantities vary by reseller (packs/box and boxes/case listed by suppliers); check the seller's unit of sale before purchase.
Usage notes
- Designed to be placed around and under tracheostomy tubes, drains, and similar tubing to absorb exudate while allowing access to the tube through the fenestration.
- Non‑woven construction is low‑linting and intended to be non‑adherent to wound beds; use clinical judgement for fragile skin.
- Store in original unopened packaging in a dry clean area; follow sterile technique when opening packs.
Limitations and warnings
- Product is a sterile disposable sponge; it is not a dressing adhesive, occlusive film, or antimicrobial dressing unless specified by a seller.
- Some resellers label the product Rx-only or require professional account verification; check the seller's terms if you lack a prescription or healthcare account.
- If exact pack counts (packs/box or boxes/case) are critical for your order, verify the seller's unit-of-sale — packaging conventions differ between distributors.
If you need exact regulatory codes (HCPCS/GTIN) or contract pricing, those are available from distributors and the manufacturer; they are not depicted on each unit and should be confirmed at purchase.
