Explanation

"Infuse sponge" in the medical context refers to a sponge that is soaked or filled with a certain medication or solution. This sponge is then applied to a specific area of the body to deliver the medication directly to that area. This method is often used in surgeries or wound care to provide localized treatment, reduce pain, or prevent infection. The medication in the sponge slowly seeps out over time, providing a controlled release of the drug.
