Sponge Bowl

Description

Sponge Bowl

During a procedure, sponges often need a quick dip. A stainless sponge bowl holds the solution right where you need it. This round bowl has a wide mouth, so a hand or forceps can reach in with ease.

Wide Mouth, Steady Base

The opening is wide for its height. That makes it easy to dip and wring a sponge. Meanwhile, the flat base keeps the bowl from rocking on a tray.

Pick a Capacity

The bowl comes in two sizes, listed as capacity and diameter × height in inches.

• 1 qt, 5-3/4 × 2-1/2 in: a lower bowl for smaller cases.
• 1-3/8 qt, 6-1/2 × 3 in: wider and deeper, for longer cases or more sponges.

Therefore, think about how much fluid you go through in one case. Then take the size that holds it without filling to the brim.

Not Just for Sponges

The same bowl works for saline, water or a mild rinse. It can also hold small tools for a short soak. Yet keep one stainless sponge bowl per purpose, so solutions do not mix.

Safe Handling

Fill the bowl on the tray, rather than carrying it full. Also wipe any drips at once, because a wet tray can slip. When the case ends, pour the fluid out and rinse the bowl.

Getting It Ready Again

It ships non-sterile. Clean it in a washer-disinfector or at the sink, then dry. Next, sterilize it rim down. So it is ready for the next case, again and again.

Support You Can Count On

The spec comes from us, and the bowl passes inspection in the United States. For its steel, we look to ASTM F899. Every sponge bowl comes with three years against manufacturing defects; a maker’s flaw in the bowl is simple to claim. Our solution bowls and cups sit in one place online.
