Ultra-Absorbent Dental Gauze Pads for Wound Care and Hemostasis – Premium 2″×2″ cotton-filled gauze sponges designed for dental and surgical use. Each white square pad has 8 layers of soft, highly absorbent material (cheesecloth outer layer with a cotton core) to soak up blood, saliva and fluids. These non-sterile, latex-free sponges provide a reliable barrier and hemostatic aid during tooth extraction (exodontia), oral surgery, and routine wound care. Packaged 5000 per case, Henry Schein’s bulk exodontia sponges ensure medical and dental professionals always have plenty on hand for bleeding control, wound dressing, infection prevention, and patient comfort. Ideal for dentist offices, oral surgeons, clinics or urgent care centers.

• High Absorbency: 8-ply cotton-filled construction quickly absorbs blood and fluids to help form a clot and keep the surgical site clean. These sponges are thick and cushiony, providing gentle, comfortable pressure on sensitive oral tissues.
• Dental Surgical Use: Specifically made for exodontia (tooth extraction) procedures and oral surgery. Dentists and oral surgeons use these gauze pads to pack extraction sockets, tamponade bleeding, and protect sutured wounds. Also suitable for wound dressing in minor surgical procedures and emergency first aid.
• Safe, Latex-Free: As medical-grade cotton sponges, they are not made with natural rubber latex, making them safe for patients and staff with latex allergies. The soft, hypoallergenic gauze is gentle on gums and mucous membranes, reducing irritation.
• Bulk Medical Supply: Each case contains 5000 individual 2″×2″ sponges (non-sterile), providing a cost-effective bulk stock for high-volume clinics and hospitals. Pads are disposable after single use. White color easily shows blood for monitoring.
• Trusted Brand: Manufactured by Henry Schein, a leading provider of healthcare and dental supplies. These sponges meet clinical standards for absorbent medical gauze and wound care products used in healthcare facilities worldwide.

Uses & Applications

Henry Schein’s exodontia sponges are a dentist-recommended product for post-extraction and oral surgery care. They are used to:

• Control Bleeding: Place a sponge directly on the extraction site and have the patient bite down. The firm pressure and absorbent cotton accelerate clot formation and hemostasis in the tooth socket.
• Wound Dressing: For oral and minor surgical wounds, these gauze pads serve as a dressing to soak up blood and saliva, keeping the area clean and protected from food and debris. Ideal for packing in surgical pockets or covering sutures.
• First-Aid Gauze: Can be used in general first-aid for small cuts or wounds, particularly in head/neck injuries, until a bandage is applied. The sponges’ thickness makes them useful for any situation requiring heavy absorbency.
• Dental Office Supply: Standard item in extraction kits, surgery trays, and procedural sets. Also handy in orthodontic adjustments or any dental procedure where moisture and bleeding control are needed.

Healthcare professionals rely on these medical gauze sponges for effective wound care, hemorrhage control, and infection prevention. They help promote faster healing by maintaining a clean environment and steady pressure on soft tissues.

How to Use

1. Preparation: Wash hands and wear gloves. Tear one or more 2×2 gauze pads from the bulk pack. The non-sterile pads are ready to use for any routine procedure.
2. Apply to Wound: After a tooth extraction or oral surgery, place the sponge directly over the bleeding site or surgical area. Ask the patient to gently bite or press it against the wound with firm, consistent pressure. This helps the sponge absorb blood and saliva, promoting clotting.
3. Monitor and Replace: Check the gauze after a few minutes. If it becomes soaked with blood, replace it with a fresh sponge to maintain pressure. Continue until bleeding significantly slows or stops (usually 15–30 minutes for minor extractions).
4. Final Instructions: Once bleeding is controlled, remove and dispose of the sponge pad. Instruct the patient on any additional post-care (e.g., avoid spitting, smoking, or hot liquids for 24 hours, which can dislodge the clot). Dispose of used sponges as medical waste.
5. Sterility Note: Remember these sponges are non-sterile. They are intended for external wound packing and pressure application. For procedures requiring sterility, use a sterile alternative.

Tip: Multiple sponges can be folded or layered for added thickness if needed. Always follow dental or surgical protocols for post-operative care.
