Description
Richmond Cotton-Filled Exodontia Sponges put a layer of pure cotton inside a gauze outer, so an extraction site gets more absorbency and more patient comfort than gauze alone delivers. From the outside they look like the familiar all gauze sponge, and that is the point, because this is the format dentists have trusted for extractions for decades. Sizes cover 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4, including a sterile 2x2 option.
- Cotton Core – an inner layer of 100% purified, medical grade cotton adds absorbency where it counts.
- Gauze Outer – the cheesecloth like outer layer keeps the familiar handling of all gauze.
- Patient Comfort – the cotton center cushions the socket area better than gauze alone.
- Sterile 2x2 Option – the 2x2 size is also offered sterile for surgical use.
Exodontia Sponges with a Cotton Center
Extraction work asks more of a sponge than routine wiping, because the sponge has to manage steady bleeding and sit comfortably against a fresh socket. This design answers with a hybrid construction, a gauze outer layer wrapped around a center of pure cotton. The cotton core raises absorbency well beyond an all gauze sponge of the same size. It also adds cushioning, which patients notice when the sponge is placed for bite pressure. Dentists have treated this cotton filled format as the traditional, reliable choice for exodontia for generations. The range covers 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 sizes in sleeves of 200, with the 2x2 offered in both non-sterile and sterile versions.
