Laparotomy Gauze 30x30cm 100 Pieces

The 30x30cm Laparotomy Gauze is a high quality medical device, specifically made to guarantee safety and reliability during surgical interventions. This disposable device, packaged in practical packs of 100 pieces, offers an ideal solution for the needs of operating rooms and surgery departments. Each gauze, thanks to its generous dimensions of 30x30 cm, allows ample coverage and optimal absorption of biological liquids, promoting dry working conditions and improving visibility in the operating field. The soft, hypoallergenic and residue-free fabric protects the tissues of the internal organs and is suitable for both short and long-term procedures. The mechanical resistance, together with the delicacy in contact with anatomical surfaces, makes the laparotomy gauze particularly effective in the phases of tamponade, protection of organs and drying of surfaces.

The gauzes are packaged to guarantee an optimal level of sterility until opening, respecting rigorous safety and quality control standards, to minimize any form of microbial contamination. This allows safe use directly in the operating room, offering peace of mind to healthcare staff and patients. The multiple packaging of 100 pieces facilitates the management of supplies, reducing downtime and allowing rational organization of the surgical material.

Therapeutic Indications

The 30x30cm laparotomy gauzes are mainly used during surgical operations on the abdomen and other body areas that require large working surfaces. They are indicated for plugging cavities, the absorption of blood and other body fluids, the protection of organs, the separation of tissues, the collection of drainage materials and for the delicate dissection of tissues in situations where it is essential to keep the operating field sterile and reduce the risk of infections.

The great absorbent capacity makes them particularly suitable in cases of heavy bleeding, abdominal trauma, complex laparotomy procedures and in all conditions where local haemostasis is a priority for the stability of the patient. They are also recommended as protection for organs mobilized or exposed during the prolonged period of surgery, preserving their integrity and preventing cross-contamination phenomena between different anatomical sections.

The action of gauze extends to wound management during emergency procedures, suturing, surgical drainage, incision and removal of infected tissue. In case of operations with risk of significant blood loss, these gauzes help to quickly manage the situation by reducing the risk of hypovolemic shock and facilitating visibility of the structures to be treated. Finally, they are designed to facilitate easy removal without leaving fibers or residues in the operating site, protecting post-operative safety.

Composition

Material: The 30x30cm laparotomy gauzes are made with 100% high purity hydrophilic cotton fibres, guaranteed free from chemical residues, optical brighteners and other potentially irritating substances. Cotton is a tightly woven fabric which gives strength and mechanical resistance even in the event of prolonged use or repeated rubbing on fabrics.

Weft and absorption: The fibers are woven in multiple overlapping layers to guarantee high absorbent power and at the same time maintain a soft structure; the particular workmanship prevents fraying of the edges even during intensive handling. The fabric allows rapid absorption and retention of blood and serous fluids to optimize the management of the operating field.

Additional features: These gauzes are treated to minimize the presence of loose fibers and dust. By favoring the use of natural and purified materials, they are hypoallergenic and also suitable for patients with sensitive skin. The dimensions of 30x30 cm make them ideal both for use on large surfaces and for being folded or divided into smaller sections according to clinical needs.

Contraindications

Do not use the 30x30cm laparotomy gauze in subjects with proven hypersensitivity to cotton or other natural fibers used in its production. The use is not recommended for purposes other than surgical ones or in circumstances where prolonged permanence of the material in the body cavity is necessary without adequate clinical control, to avoid risks of accidental retention.

Gauze must not be used where it is possible to absorb necrotic tissue or material that may adhere excessively and is difficult to remove without damaging the underlying structure. Avoid use in the presence of materials or solutions that can degrade cotton, such as some corrosive chemicals or highly oxidizing antiseptics.

Improper use, without the correct management of pre- and post-surgery counting maneuvers, can lead to risks of intracorporeal retention with potentially serious clinical consequences such as infections, chronic inflammatory reactions, granuloma formation and the need for further invasive surgical procedures.

Safety of the drug for the species

The 30x30cm laparotomy gauzes are designed to guarantee maximum safety when used on human patients, drastically reducing the risks of fiber release, microbial contamination and adverse events related to the manufacturing material.

Sterility is ensured by rigorous production and packaging processes, subjected to verification using specific indicators that confirm sterilization has occurred. The structure of the fabric, free of harmful chemical additives, reduces the probability of allergic reactions, local inflammation or foreign body rejection phenomena to almost zero. The hypoallergenic properties also allow its use in pediatric, geriatric or immunocompromised patients.

It is essential that each gauze is used only in a sterile environment and that all the precautions required by the rules of good surgical practice are adopted, including pre- and post-operative counting procedures. Inadequate management can lead to serious clinical risks and compromise patient safety.

Precautions

When handling laparotomy gauze, it is necessary to comply with all hygiene recommendations and regulations for the management of sterile devices. Do not use the product if the packaging appears damaged, compromised or already opened, as the loss of sterility could expose the patient to serious infections.

Personnel must wear suitable protective equipment during use, avoid unnecessary contact of bare hands with the material and pay attention during removal at the end of the procedure to prevent dispersion of fibres. Always accurately counting the gauze before and after surgery is essential to avoid risks of accidental retention within the operating field.

Dispose of the gauze according to the procedures established for contaminated hospital waste, in compliance with current regulations, to prevent biological risks. Keep the product out of reach of children, unauthorized personnel and pets. Never use the product beyond the expiry date indicated on the original packaging.

Method of administration

The 30x30cm laparotomy gauze must be used exclusively by qualified healthcare personnel, within a sterile environment, according to standard surgical preparation procedures. Open the package following all the steps that guarantee the maintenance of sterility; remove the gauze without touching the surface that will come into contact with the patient's tissues.

Place the gauze delicately on the affected area, dabbing gently and, as necessary, folding it or adapting it to the dimensions of the operating field or the organs to be isolated. Immediately replace gauze saturated with blood or liquid with new ones, continuing the procedure until complete hemostasis and cleansing.

At the end of the operation, recover all the gauze used, count them carefully, and carefully remove them from the operating field to minimize any residues on tissues and cavities. The gauzes used must be placed immediately in the containers designed for infectious or biohazardous waste, according to hospital regulations.

Treatment program

Laparotomy gauze is always used based on the specific needs of the intended surgical procedure. They can be used both in the initial phases, for the preparation and delimitation of the operating field, and during the operation for the absorption of fluids, the protection of the organs, hemostasis and dissection. Their use is suitable for both emergency procedures and long-term planned interventions, guaranteeing continuity and reliability in the different operating phases.

The number of gauzes to be used will be determined by the surgeon and the healthcare team according to the amount of blood emitted, the volume of the affected cavity and the need for tissue manipulation. In any case, once haemostasis and definitive cleaning of the surgical field have been achieved, all gauze must be removed, counted and disposed of correctly.

The management and replacement of gauze must take place with the utmost attention to sterility and safety protocols, coordinating all team members to avoid errors in the removal and counting phase, thus preventing any risk of accidental retention.
