The disclosure concerns a flat, flexible strip of plastic bags for receiving soiled surgical sponges. Each bag has a transparent front panel and a transparent or opaque rear panel joined by three connections, the first of which is located in the central, lower region of the bag, and is easily rupturable. The other two connections are located in the upper region of the bag intermediate the sides and the center and may be easily rupturable. The central connection, when intact, enables the bag to receive and segregate two sponges, and coacts with the other connections to limit gaping of the bag mouth. When the central connection is broken, the bag is enabled to receive a single, large sponge, and the two upper connections limit gaping.
