Usage: Medical Gauze is particularly useful for bandaging and dressing weeping wounds like burns, lacerations, and ulcers. Unlike other fabrics, it generally doesn’t stick to wounds, and when it does, it is easy to release from the affected area. Available in rolls or pads, medical gauze has many functions in wound care, including covering, packing, cleaning, scrubbing, and securing many types of abrasions, lacerations, scrapes, and burns, to name a few. Typically, gauze is the first layer of bandaging on a wound. A tightly woven gauze adds strong protection while the loose pattern type absorbs moisture and draws it away from the wound and into the outer bandage. Since gauze rolls are available in different gauges, medical professionals keep a wide selection around to treat various types of wounds. Also, when you need to clean a wound area, you can use a 4X4 square of gauze sponge to prepare the wound for bandages.
