Dermacea IV Drain Gauze Sponge 4in x 4in Sterile

Dermacea IV drain gauze sponge is a sterile 4 inch x 4 inch dressing for use around I.V.s, drains, catheters, chest tubes, and tracheotomies. Buyers who need a drain sponge that stays close to tubing may prefer the pre-cut T-slit, which helps the sponge conform snugly at the site. The synthetic blend is described as supporting fast wicking action and superior absorbency.
