Medical Gauze is used to absorb blood and other exudates from the wound surface in order to clean the wounds. Gauze sponges are disposable and are used in hospitals and medical centers around the globe. Gauze sponges are made up of cotton and other non-woven materials. They are available in many sizes, plys, and fabrics.
Medical gauze pads come in sterile and non-sterile variations. The open weave design of medical gauze sponges aids in the removal of dead tissue from the wound surface. Gauze pads potray moisture wicking properties i.e. they vertically wick fluid from the wound onto any secondary dressing to assist with preventing maceration of skin tissue. In cases of accidentally leaving gauze sponges in bodies, some kinds of gauze sponges are woven with X-ray detectable thread.
Gauze pads are essentials that you must have in your first aid kit. In an event when any injury occurs that cannot be treated with a bandage, a gauze pad may do the needful. Excessive bleeding can be controlled with a gauze pad along with a medical tape or any secondary dressing. Gauze pads also prove useful in applying ointments or cleaning wounds.
