First, check the sponge position with an endoscope. Then disconnect the system from the vacuum by disconnecting the drainage tube and setting the suction to zero. Now disconnect the draining tube at the Y-connector. After opening the application set, remove the syringe and dilator to irrigate the sponge. Insert the dilator into the tube and attach the syringe. Irrigate the sponge by instilling physiological saline or, as in this example, simethicone, a liquid defoamer, and pull. -

A clean granulating surface is already visible at the fundus of the wound cavity, while further proximad considerable detritus and fibrin are evident. Remove the detritus from the wound cavity with endoscopic forceps. Now measure the length of the wound cavity to determine the exact size of the sponge. Next, cut the sponge to that size.
Note:
- The Endo-SPONGE® system is made of an open-pore polyurethane sponge firmly connected to a drainage tube.
- The sponge should decrease in size with each replacement allowing the wound cavity to shrink as well.
