Sponge gauze is a cut of spunlance non-woven fabric gauze with special hydrophilic properties that make them absorb water, and therefore blood or other body fluids. When used in surgery, they are called surgical sponges. Composed of highly breathable material, they are used both in the cleaning of wounds and in the dressing of them. They do not adhere to wounds and do not release threads. Their removal is painless and, due to their great softness, they are used for the cleaning of delicate anatomical parts such as breasts and the intimate parts of children. They are a high-security, biocompatible disposable material that must be discarded after use.
