Gauze Sponge, 4 in. x 4 in.

More Plies Means Fewer Dressing Changes Per Shift

Ply count is the difference between a sponge that needs replacing every hour on a draining wound and one that holds up through a longer stretch between checks. At 12-ply, this sponge is built for heavier absorbency work than a standard 4-ply pad, without the added cost of a specialty absorbent dressing. Non-sterile packaging is the right call for general cleaning, padding, and prep tasks that don't require a sterile field, and keeping these stocked separately from sterile gauze avoids reaching for an unnecessarily expensive sponge for routine jobs.
