I Need to Replace My Sponges - HELP!

What do you do when it’s time to replace your old worn out sponges? What’s New? What options are out there?  Well, Z&Z Medical has spent a lot of time doing the research for you and creating an array of foam positioners that you can be comfortable with. Let us help answer some of those difficult questions:

1. I need to replace my old worn out torn sponges, but I know we can’t have those open cell grey sponges. What should we choose for replacements? We highly recommend Z&Z Medical Exclusive Closed Cell Foam Positioners. These light grey closed cell sponges are manufactured out of a crosslink polyethylene foam that is non-porous, radiolucent, and easy to clean! They are manufactured using a fine micro-cellular structure that is characterized by its firm feel and its resistance to fluids. It has a higher tensile and tear strength compared to most foam products on the market.  These closed cell sponges make the best positioning aides and are manufactured right here in the USA.

2. Some coated sponges that we have gotten in the past tear easily. What do you suggest as a good “CLEANABLE” sponge replacement that will hold up over time? We recommend Z&Z Medical Exclusive Closed Cell Foam Positioners. There is no need for a thinly applied coating that will easily tear.  The foam itself is closed cell crosslink micro-cellular structure that is non-porous, meaning it will not absorb any fluids unlike the un-coated open cell sponges that are on the market and that tear easily. The crosslink density of this foam is extremely high, and the surface can be easily cleaned & disinfected making them an excellent positioner for any imaging facility.     

3. We had to replace some sponges and we got coated sponges – but they show bad artifacts. What can we get that is cleanable and will pass inspections from a quality control standpoint? We recommend Z&Z Medical Exclusive Closed Cell Foam Positioners. These positioners are amazing and do NOT show any artifacts at all. Closed cell sponges are radiolucent allowing the x-ray to pass right through and not be blocked and there is no chemical coating that will show artifacts during imaging. When used under normal imaging technique, our sponges offer superior image radiolucency and no artifacts.

4. We need to replace our sponges but have to use a medical grade disinfectant spray to clean them with. What sponge replacement do you recommend? We recommend Z&Z Medical Exclusive Closed Cell Foam Positioners. The surface can easily be cleaned after every patient with a hospital grade medical disinfectant or 10% bleach solution.
