Leukoplast, sterile swabs, RöKo chip, for precise applications

Adhesive bandages, sterile swabs, radiopaque chip—for precise applications

Sterile dissection swabs with an X-ray contrast chip—for exposing tissue layers, available in three sizes.

Description

These swabs are designed for exposing tissue layers and anatomical structures—a different task than absorbing fluid, and accordingly manufactured differently: smaller, firmer, and in three graduated sizes.

They are still absorbent. The radiopaque chip makes them detectable on X-ray images and thus part of the count verification process in the operating room. The material is oxygen-bleached cotton in accordance with DIN EN 14079.

Key Features

• for exposing tissue layers and anatomical structures
• oxygen-bleached cotton in accordance with DIN EN 14079
• with X-ray contrast chip — detectable on X-ray images
• highly absorbent
• Sterile
• Does not contain natural rubber latex
• Sizes: small, medium, and large

Applications

• Exposure of tissue layers during surgery
• Visualization of anatomical structures
• Absorbing fluid from specific areas

Summary

Dissection swabs are not a substitute for gauze balls, and vice versa—they are firmer and smaller because they must be guided. The X-ray chip is included with both.
