The sponge receptacle may seem to be a small, and seemingly unimportant part in a surgical procedure, however, that is not the case. The sponge receptacle is a stainless steel medical receptacle on wheels. The term sponge receptacle is similar to a kick bucket, which is because it is made to do just that, get scooted around the operating room with the surgical tech’s feet, or ‘kicked’. Think of it as a medical soccer ball in the OR that literally keeps ‘score’! Mostly it is used to collect sponges and other waste from surgery, however at the end of the procedure, an operating room nurse or technician counts all those sponges, and they must be accounted for. The large, flat basin makes sponge counting and identification easier at a glance than a traditional Kick bucket. The basin is removable to make waste removal and cleaning easier.
