Frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of the radiopaque marker on an abdominal compress?
The radiopaque marker allows detection of the compress by X-ray if it was accidentally left in the patient's abdominal cavity. This safety measure is essential during surgical procedures to prevent postoperative complications.
How does the counting card provided with these compresses work?
The double and adhesive counting card allows precise tracking of the number of compresses used during the procedure. Healthcare staff place a marker on it for each compress used, facilitating the count before surgical closure.
Why choose pre-washed compresses for the operating theatre?
Pre-washed compresses are free of starch and manufacturing residues that could irritate tissues or impair healing. They offer better absorption and reduce the risk of adverse reactions when in contact with internal organs.
