Cardinal Excilon Drain Sponge 4 x 4 inch – Convenient Protection for Tubes and Catheters

The Cardinal Excilon Drain Sponge is a sterile dressing designed specifically to fit around drains, catheters, chest tubes, IV lines, and tracheostomy tubes. Measuring 4 x 4 inches, this sponge features a pre-cut slit that conforms neatly around medical devices, reducing the risk of infection and irritation while keeping the site clean and protected.

Ideal for carers, nurses, aged care providers, and patients at home, Excilon Drain Sponges simplify dressing changes and provide reliable coverage for device insertion sites.

 

Why Choose Excilon Drain Sponge?

Unlike standard gauze, Excilon Drain Sponges are pre-slit to save time and improve patient comfort. They are made from high-quality, absorbent material that manages exudate effectively while protecting delicate skin around tubes and drains. This makes them a practical choice for both clinical and home care settings.
