Laparotomy is a surgical procedure that involves a large incision/cut through abdominal wall to gain abdominal cavity access. Hemorrhage or leakage of blood, as well as the discharge of bile and bowel contents, may restrict the operative field, hindering surgeons to perform open or laparoscopic surgeries efficiently. Along with suction devices, laparotomy sponges aid in clearing or absorption of fluids such as blood near the operative field during surgeries.
