Surgical sponge

A surgical sponge including a sponge material configured an elongate sponge having multiple compressed layers and a flattened shape characterized by a generally flat upper surface, a generally flat lower surface, with the sponge having a thickness that is substantially less than a width of the sponge, one reduced dimension end of the elongate sponge having an end length and reducing in dimension distally along the end length; stitches along the length of the sponge to compress the sponge material and maintain the layers in compression to maintain the flattened shape of the sponge; and a length of stitch material extending from the reduced dimension end to provide a structure that is engageable for use in positioning or removal of the sponge during a surgical procedure.

A surgical sponge including sponge material configured in an elongate sponge having at least two layers and a flattened shape characterized by a generally flat upper surface, a generally flat lower surface. The sponge has a thickness that is substantially less than a width of the sponge, a reduced dimension end of the elongate sponge having an end length and reducing in dimension distally along the end length. Stitches are located along the length of the sponge to maintain the flattened shape of the sponge.
