What is medical gauze?
Medical gauze is a sterile substance used to cover or wrap wounds. Usually made of woven cotton or synthetic fibers allows wounds to "breathe" and absorb leaks. In addition, it is less likely that it will stick to wounds than many other types of fabrics. Medical gauze is available in many different shapes and sizes. In addition, some forms of gauze are dry, while others are saturated with antibacterial ointments, lubricants or other active substances. Its popularity is predominantly based on its breathability, its absorption, and the fact that it does not tend to stick to wounds. Cotton medical gauze is generally woven of fine fibers. Its binding can be free, allowing a large amount of air to penetrate into the wound below it, or close to the wound well isolated in front of the environment. The choice between free or tight gauze is generally dictated by the specific nature of the wound and its stage of the healing process.
In the 20th century, synthetic materials also became a popular choice for productionU Gázy. Synthetic gauze is often not really woven, but rather stamped to look as if it were woven. In many cases, its breathability, absorption and the ability to withstand gluing the same or even better than cotton.
There are many different shapes and sizes of medical gauze. It is generally available in large or small cylinders, in strips, small pillows and large leaves that can be cut to match a particular wound. Small gauze packages can be purchased from a pharmacy or pharmacy for individual use. It is also available in large quantities from retailers with medical offers.
Some medical gauze is classified as dry. This type of gauze was not filled with any complementary active substances. It can be the best choice for a wound that produces a great amvasion because it can easily absorb this leakage.
Other types of medical gauze are lEs with complementary healing agents such as oil jelly or antiseptics at the time of their production. These therapeutic substances can perform several functions.
