ABSTRACT:
A surgical sponge for use in the larynx of a throat comprising a porous cellular absorbent sponge material pre-formed in a compressed rigid member which retains its compressed small volume condition. The surgical sponge is constructed of cellular absorbent sponge material which wicks up fluid from the body to expand from compressed condition to a predetermined larger size to form an arcuate elongated body with flat end surfaces and a "C" shaped cross section defining a concave channel, at least one of the flat end surfaces being coated with a fluid impervious layer which prevents the flow of fluid therethrough. The sponge material is impregnated with a radiopaque material such as barium sulfate, and is provided with an attaching cord allowing removal of the sponge body from the patient.
