Gauze swab is commonly used sterile or non-sterile dressings in the medical field, primarily for wound care, hemostasis, bandaging, and wound protection. They are mostly made of pure cotton or blended fibers, offering breathability, absorbency, and anti-adhesion properties.
Gauze pads are mainly used in the medical field to cover and protect wounds, absorb exudate, prevent infection, and promote healing.
Specific uses include:
Covering wounds: Forming a physical barrier to prevent bacteria, dust, and other contaminants from entering the wound, reducing the risk of infection.
Absorbing exudate: Quickly absorbing blood, pus, or tissue fluid, keeping the wound dry and clean, and preventing fluid accumulation that could hinder healing.
Compression hemostasis: Applying appropriate pressure helps close ruptured blood vessels, controlling postoperative or traumatic bleeding.
Promoting healing: Maintaining a moist wound environment, supporting cell migration and repair, and accelerating the recovery process.
