Medical device cleaning sponge/set

This category includes hand-held manual devices designed as soft or abrasive sponges or pads, sometimes containing non-medicated substances like enzymes or surfactants, and may be supplied with related items such as receptacles. These devices are used to remove gross blood and organic debris from medical instruments before disinfection or sterilization, and are not intended for use during medical or surgical procedures.

Devices in this category are designated for single-use only and are regulated based on their intended use for pre-cleaning of medical devices. They are not classified as reusable and do not contain medicated substances, with regulatory status determined by jurisdiction-specific rules for manual cleaning aids.
