Description
Absorbent gauze is a versatile medical material commonly used in wound care, surgical procedures, and other healthcare applications. It is made from woven cotton fibers that have been processed to create a soft and highly absorbent fabric.
- Absorption: Gauze is designed to absorb fluids, such as blood or wound exudate, effectively. Its woven structure allows it to retain moisture while providing a barrier to prevent the wound from becoming overly moist.
- Cushioning and Protection: Absorbent gauze provides cushioning and protection to wounds. It can be placed directly on the wound surface to create a gentle barrier, reducing the risk of trauma or contamination.
- Debridement: Gauze can be used for mechanical debridement, which involves gently removing dead tissue, debris, or slough from a wound. The woven texture of gauze helps in the removal of non-viable material during wound cleaning.
- Packing: For deep wounds or cavities, absorbent gauze can be packed into the wound to facilitate healing from the inside out. This helps maintain a moist wound environment and promotes granulation tissue formation.
