Zusammenfassung:A dispenser which may be sealed and sterilized, containing surgical absorbent pads for use during surgical operations, each surgical pad associated with an indicator strip rigidly affixed at one end to the inner wall of the dispenser such that removal of the absorbent pad extends the indicator strip to the exterior of the dispenser, the strip being of a length sufficient to prevent it inadvertent reintroduction into the dispenser, the spent absorbent pads reassociated with the exterior indicator strips to provide a visual positive accounting of absorbent pads used during the operation, the dispenser biased with a weighted flange extending from the bottom surface to land on a sterile field in a dispensing position when tossingly directed from a container towards the sterile field.
