Medical Gauze is used to absorb blood and other exudates from the wound surface 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. Medical gauze sponges have an open wave design that aids in removing dead tissue from the wound surface. Gauze pads portray moisture-wicking properties, i.e., they vertically wick fluid from the wound onto any secondary dressing to prevent skin tissue maceration. Some gauze sponges are woven with detectable X-ray thread in cases of accidentally leaving gauze sponges in bodies.
Gauze pads are essentials that you must have in your first aid kit. If any injury occurs that's 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.
