Gauze Balls X-Ray
Sterile disposable X-ray detectable medical gauze balls are small, round pieces of gauze that are used in medical settings for various purposes. They are typically made from a non-woven fabric that is sterile to prevent infection.
The gauze balls are disposable, meaning they are used once and then discarded, to maintain a high level of hygiene. They are commonly used for wound care, such as cleaning wounds or applying medication or ointment. The X-ray detectable feature is achieved by incorporating a radiopaque material, such as barium sulfate or a metal element, into the gauze during the manufacturing process. This material makes the gauze visible on X-ray images, allowing healthcare professionals to identify and remove any retained gauze.
