Absorbent Swabs
These synthetic surgical sponges absorb fluids twice as fast as the best cotton sponges and have three times their fluid-holding capacity. They are made from strong, soft, lint-free, biocompatible-proven material which is non-irritating to tissue and leaves no fibrous residue which might cause wound contamination. Alloy / Material: Synthetic Length: 20 mm Mounted: No Net Weight: 10 g Sterile: Yes

Fine Science Tools microsurgery instruments — including forceps, scissors, and surgical clips — are standard in animal surgery labs worldwide. They are cited across thousands of neuroscience, physiology, and pharmacology studies involving rodent surgeries, stereotaxic procedures, and tissue preparation.
What are Absorbent Swabs used for in animal surgery?
Absorbent Swabs are used during small animal surgical procedures for blood and fluid absorption, wound site preparation, and maintaining a clear operative field in rodent surgeries.
What material are the Absorbent Swabs made from?
Absorbent Swabs are manufactured from high-absorbency cotton or synthetic fiber, ensuring compatibility with sterile surgical environments and effective fluid management during procedures.
Are Absorbent Swabs single-use or reusable?
Absorbent Swabs are typically single-use disposable items designed to maintain sterility standards in animal surgery. They are available in sterile packaging suitable for direct use in aseptic procedures.
Which animal species are Absorbent Swabs appropriate for?
Absorbent Swabs are sized for use with mice and rats, and are a standard consumable in rodent surgical kits used across neuroscience, pharmacology, and general biomedical research.
Can Absorbent Swabs be used effectively in wet surgical fields?
Yes. The high-absorbency material maintains structural integrity when saturated, making Absorbent Swabs effective in wet surgical fields where continuous fluid management is required during prolonged rodent procedures.
