Fluid in the Airway
Is Not an Option. Neither Is Gauze.

The Laryngosponge is an ergonomically designed oral surgery sponge that seals the pharynx, stopping blood, saliva, and irrigation fluid from triggering laryngospasm before it becomes a crisis.

The Product

Laryngo Sponge

Available in two sizes to fit any patient. Both provide the same reliable pharyngeal protection.

Yellow 1/2 inch Laryngo Sponge wet versus dry
1/2″ Yellow

Yellow Laryngo Sponge

Sized for pediatric patients and adults with smaller oral anatomy. Same reliable protection in a more compact profile.

White 3/4 inch Laryngo Sponge wet versus dry
3/4″ White

White Laryngo Sponge

Designed for standard adult oral anatomy. The larger profile provides a more robust pharyngeal seal in wider posterior oral cavities.

This Scenario Happens
More Than It Should

You're mid-procedure. Fluids are pooling. Gauze is soaked again. The drill catches the edge. Your patient stiffens. It doesn't have to go this way.

Without Laryngosponge
✗

Blood and irrigation fluid pool behind the tongue. Gauze saturates in minutes.

✗

You stop to change the gauze. Again. The drill catches the fraying edge.

✗

Fluid reaches the larynx. The patient's vocal cords spasm. Procedure interrupted.

✗

You spend more time managing fluids than performing surgery.

With Laryngosponge
✓

Sponge seated between tongue and teeth. Pharyngeal seal: active.

✓

Fluid is captured, not pooled. Squeeze and reposition without breaking sterile field.

✓

No threads. No drill hazard. Tongue protected throughout.

✓

Procedure continues. Airway protected. Laryngospasm risk dramatically reduced.

The Real Problems with Gauze

Gauze Was Never Designed
for the Oral Surgical Field

1

No Fluid Seal

Standard gauze creates virtually no barrier. Fluid passes freely past it into the pharynx, increasing aspiration and laryngospasm risk.

2

Drill Hazard

Gauze threads fray and catch in rotary instruments, creating dangerous interruptions mid-procedure.

3

Rapid Saturation

Gauze saturates quickly and must be replaced repeatedly, interrupting workflow and extending total procedure time unnecessarily.

4

No Tongue Protection

Gauze provides nothing to keep the tongue away from the surgical field, increasing trauma risk and reducing visibility.

What the Laryngosponge Does

Seven Things Answered
the Moment It's Seated

1

Reduces Laryngospasm Risk

By blocking fluid from entering the throat, the sponge directly reduces the primary trigger for laryngospasm, a potentially life-threatening airway reflex.

→
2

Creates a Fluid-Tight Pharyngeal Seal

Fits ergonomically between the tongue and teeth, forming a reliable barrier that prevents blood, saliva, and irrigation fluid from reaching the larynx.

→
3

Protects the Tongue from the Surgical Field

Keeps the tongue safely displaced, reducing trauma risk and improving line-of-sight throughout the procedure without additional instruments.

→
4

High Absorbency, Reusable Per Procedure

When saturated, simply squeeze out, reposition, and continue. No need to break the sterile field or stop the procedure to replace it.

→
5

No Drill Catch Risk

Unlike gauze, the Laryngosponge has no threads or fibers that can catch in rotary instruments, eliminating one of the most preventable surgical hazards.

→
6

Reduces Aspiration Risk

With fluid contained and the pharynx sealed, the risk of aspiration during the procedure is substantially reduced for both sedated and conscious patients.

→
7

Cost-Effective Single-Use Design

At as low as $1.10 per sponge at volume, it's one of the highest-value safety improvements you can make to your surgical workflow today.

Usage Protocol

Three Steps to a
Cleaner Surgical Field

1

Hydrate & Prep

Wet the sponge with water to activate absorbency. Squeeze out excess. Sterilize if required by your protocol.

Pre-Procedure
2

Seat & Seal

Place between the tongue and teeth to seal the pharynx. The ergonomic shape holds position throughout the procedure.

During Procedure
3

Squeeze, Reposition & Dispose

When saturated, squeeze out fluid and reposition. Discard after the procedure. Single use only.

Post-Saturation

Mouth sponges are non-sterile and for single use only. User assumes responsibility for appropriate use.

The Clinical Difference

The Clinical Impact

Risk
Laryngospasm Reduction
Keeping fluid out of the larynx directly addresses the primary trigger for this dangerous airway reflex.
<$1.10
Per Sponge at Volume
500-unit packs start at $550, less than a dollar per procedure for measurable patient safety improvement.
Flow
Reduced Interruptions
Fewer gauge swaps, no drill catches, no fluid management breaks. Cleaner procedures from start to finish.
The Verdict

Laryngosponge
vs. Standard Gauze

Side-by-side on what matters in the surgical field.

Feature Laryngosponge Recommended Standard Gauze
Pharyngeal Fluid Seal ✓ Reliable seal maintained throughout ✗ No meaningful barrier
Absorbency ✓ High capacity. Squeeze and reuse per procedure. ✗ Saturates quickly, requires replacement
Tongue Protection ✓ Displaces tongue from surgical field ✗ No structural support provided
Drill Catch Hazard ✓ No threads. Smooth, drill-safe surface. ✗ Fibers catch in rotary instruments
Laryngospasm Risk ✓ Dramatically reduced ✗ Not addressed
Fluid Splatter Control ✓ Contained within sponge barrier ✗ Uncontrolled pooling and splatter
Procedure Interruption ✓ Minimized. Squeeze and continue. ✗ Frequent stops to replace soaked gauze

I was sick and tired of fluid getting past the gauze during an oral surgical procedure. The dental sponge may reduce surgical time and help create a safer operating environment.

Dr. Anderson didn't invent the Laryngosponge in a lab. He invented it because no existing solution was doing the job. After years of watching gauze fail, saturating, catching drills, and letting fluid slip past, he designed something that actually works.

He uses it in every procedure he performs. That's the only endorsement that matters.
