The device is intended to be used by trained physicians during neurosurgical procedures to protect neural tissues from drying, abrasion, or contamination and to absorb fluids. The device is indicated for use by trained physicians during neurosurgical procedures to protect neural tissues from drying, abrasion, or contamination and to absorb fluids:

The device is a non-adherent, strung, x-ray detectable surgical sponge that is sterile and disposable. The American Surgical Sponges (brand) product line is made from cotton, polyester, or rayon in various sizes and shapes and has been first marketed since 1985. The current cleared product line includes the Telfa® Sponges, which are cotton surgical sponges covered on both sides with polyethylene terephthalate. The Telfa® Sponges provide additional stiffness to the neurosurgical sponges. The new proposed addition to the product line includes neurosurgical sponges (cotton, polyester, or rayon) covered on one side with a thin single layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to enhance the material stiffness and non-adherence properties while maintaining flexibility of the sponge. The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer will be provided in a choice of three thicknesses, 0.001", 0.003" or 0.005". The sponges range in size from 6mm × 76mm × 76mm.

The device is a neurosurgical pad used during surgery to protect nervous tissue, absorb fluids, or stop bleeding.

The device is a non-adherent, strung, x-ray detectable surgical sponge that is sterile and disposable. The Delicot product line is made from lyocell, a manmade fiber derived from cellulose, better known under the brand name of Tencel - a type of rayon; it is supplied in various lengths and widths and has been marketed since 1990. The Delicot product line is one of three rayon-based sponges. The Delicot sponges are manufactured using Dupont Style 8623 consisting of 100% lyocell. Dupont has discontinued the manufacture of Style 8623. Dupont Style 8471 consisting of 58% polyester and 42% lyocell is our proposed replacement.
