<p>Apparatus for the enumerative display and disposal of surgical sponges comprising a circular one-piece molded plastic article (16) adapted to be fit over the rim of a standard surgical kick bucket and a bag placed in a kick bucket. The article bears a predetermined number of notches (29, 31) in its upper portion for display of sponges draped over the notches, so that when each notch bears a sponge, the number of used sponges on the article is known. The article contains a number of other features including a circumferential fluid-receiving portion (40), shoulder portions (28, 30) a tapered annular channel portion (26) to receive a bucket handle, and tapered projections (54) in the notch portions to improve retaining engagement of the sponges. The article is designed to be nestable for easy packaging, sterilizable, inexpensive, and disposable. </p> |
