Medical Gauze Dressings

Conformability: Medical Gauze dressing is flexible and conforms to the shape of the wound, making it suitable for irregularly shaped wounds or areas of the body where dressings need to adhere closely.

Sterility: Sterile gauze dressings are essential for preventing wound infection. They are individually packaged to maintain sterility until opened for use.

Non-Sterile Varieties: Non-sterile gauze dressings are available for general wound care, such as cleaning and covering minor cuts and abrasions. They are not intended for use on open surgical wounds.

Wound Dressing: Sterile gauze pads are often used as primary or secondary wound dressings. They can be applied directly to the wound or used with topical ointments or antimicrobial agents.

Cleaning and Debridement: Gauze pad can be soaked in sterile saline or wound-cleaning solutions to gently clean wounds and remove debris or dead tissue (debridement).

Protection: Medical gauze dressings provide a physical barrier that protects the wound from external contaminants, reducing the risk of infection.

Tape or Wrapping: Medical gauze dressings can be used with adhesive tape or as a wrapping material for the fixation of splints, dressings, or bandages.

Cushioning: Medical cotton gauze pad can provide cushioning and padding around wounds or underneath casts to prevent pressure sores or irritation.

Cotton: Cotton is one of the most widely used materials for medical gauze dressings. Cotton gauze is soft, absorbent, and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for a variety of wound care applications. It is available in different ply thicknesses, with higher ply count gauze providing more absorbency and cushioning.
