Sponge Bowl

Sponge Bowl for Surgical use

A sponge bowl is a surgical instrument which is used to hold sponges during surgery. Sponge bowls are usually wide and flat bottomed so that they will be highly stable and easy to use. Many surgical suppliers carry sponge bowls, and they can also be ordered directly through manufacturers. While designed for use in surgery, sponge bowls have other uses in medical practice as well; for example, a doctor can use a bowl to hold materials associated with cleaning and dressing a wound.

As with other instruments used in surgery, it is critical that a sponge bowl be fully sterilizable to prevent the passage of microbes from patient to patient. For this reason, sponge bowls are often made from stainless steel, as it can endure harsh soaps and the high temperatures in the autoclave. Certain plastics may be used as well, depending on the manufacturer. The device usually carries sterilizing directions so that people know what they need to do to sterilize the sponge bowl properly.

Clean sponges, gauze, and dressings can be handed to a surgeon in a sponge bowl, with the surgeon or an assistant using sponge forceps to manipulate the contents of the bowl and select the materials needed for a specific application. Conversely, a surgeon can put soiled sponges and other materials from surgery into a sponge bowl, removing sponges used to soak up blood and fluids as they reach their maximum absorption level.
