Product Definition:
Medical sponges are used to clean and soak up blood or other fluids during a medical procedure. They can also be used to pack a wound.
Large Size:
Large size medical sponges are also known as heavy-duty or high-density sponges. They are used for absorbing blood, plasma, and other body fluids in various surgeries. It is a type of surgical drape that is saturated with liquid and then placed over the wound site to help keep it clean and dry while it heals. The large size medical sponge can be used for both absorbable and non-absorbable dressings depending on the situation during surgery.
Small Size:
Small size is the most important factor in the medical sponges market. Small size of a sponge can be compared to a filter, which allows only specific particles to pass through it while keeping everything else out. The small-sized sponges are used for absorbing various liquids and gases that come in contact with body tissues or fluids. Medical sponges are used for absorbing blood from accident and surgical sites, as well as cleaning wounds internally.
Application Insights:
Based on the application, the global medical sponges market is segmented into hospitals, clinics and other healthcare facilities. Hospitals held the largest share of over 70.0% in 2017 owing to high usage of medical sponges in surgeries and treatments.
