It is "Reston."

Reston sponge - sa

[ In Reply To ..]
thank you MT17. A search with Reston alone reveals something that appears to be used for tires. adding the words breast surgery to Reston in the search box reveals that it's a surgical product as well..
So the next time I will know what this is.. thanks so much I am away from my reference books right now.
