Gauzes

Gauzes are thin and elastic fabrics made of cotton, polyester, or a combination of both. They are designed to be highly absorbent and breathable, allowing for optimal wound healing and protection. The shape of the gauze allows air and moisture to pass through, which helps to prevent bacterial build-up and creates a sterile environment for wound healing. 

Gauzes and gauze pads are suitable for wound care, wounds with heavy secretions, or surgery. Medical supplies for surgeries and clinics used as compressed, swabs or wound shields. They are used as compresses, protective wound coverings, and for the absorption of fluids and blood from wounds.

Gauzes are widely used in healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices, as well as in-home care and first aid. They can be used for a variety of medical applications, such as wound cleaning, applying medications, and also providing a sterile cover for surgical incisions. In addition, they can also be used for non-medical purposes, such as cleaning and applying products or creams to the skin. 

They are available in both sterile and non-sterile. Sterile gauze is packaged in a single pack and is disposable to minimize the risk of contamination. They are typically used in medical environments or situations where a high level of care and attention is required, such as surgery or wound care in a sterile environment. Non-sterile gauze is suitable for general first aid purposes and can also be used in non-sterile environments. 

In addition to plain non-adhesive gauze, there is also adhesive gauze. They are designed to protect the wound, providing stability without the risk of removal. Non-adhesive gauzes are ideal for simple use, minimizing pain when changing dressings. Finally, impregnated gauze is non-adhesive gauze that has been impregnated with antimicrobial agents or pharmaceuticals. They offer additional benefits such as preventing infection or enhancing the healing process.
