I think it is dangerous to use a word-by-word machine translation technique here. \"Surgical sponges\" are not made of \"sponges\", but of cotton or man-made fiber. \"Surgical\" implies \"suitable for surgical procedures\", meaning sterile. Google \"gossypiboma\" and you\'ll see what I mean\"!

The double meaning af the Swedish word for \"sponge\" (\"svamp\") makes its use in this context undesirable. |
