A high-quality sponge that provides good absorption means you will use fewer sponges, saving you both time and money and producing less waste.
Absorbency is also key to ensuring patient comfort, as good absorbency helps prevent patients from swallowing blood, saliva and debris. Basis weight is a measure of the thickness of the material the sponge is made from. Additional thickness also provides extra cushioning for extraction sites and other wounds. Sponge material that tends to shred or fray often leaves small fibers behind on dental instruments or directly in wounds.
These fibers can interfere with both treatment and healing, making it important to choose a sponge that does not produce lint. Each type tends to be optimal for different applications in the clinic. Richmond Dental and Medical nonwoven sponges are processed through hydroentanglement. During fiber entanglement, fibers come together via mechanical bonding, which provides fabric strength. Fabrics using high-pressure water jets to entangle a web of fibers are made without binders.
A forming belt supports the fiber web as it passes under the water jets. The shape of the belt produces the perforations, a key part of the process that results in the fabric taking on an open gauze shape.
The high energy of the water removes any dust or short fibers, which explains why hydroentangled nonwoven fabrics have lint-free properties. Gauze is woven on a loom that joins two sets of yarns by weaving one set through the other. In this process, the two sets of yarns are perpendicular to each other.
Woven gauze is loosely woven, usually from cotton fibers. This allows for absorption or wicking of exudate and other fluids into or through the gauze. Woven gauze could have fine or coarse mesh with different thread counts.
Coarse gauze are generally useful for debridement, since it's coarser texture is more "grippy. Woven gauze, however, tends not to be the most absorbent and may leave lint in the wound, especially if cut which is not a great idea. Image: A close-up view of a woven gauze pad Non-woven gauze is made from fibers that are pressed together to resemble a weave.
This results in increased absorbency and better wicking. Non-woven gauze is usually made from synthetic fibers like rayon, polyester or a blend.
