Frequently Asked Questions
4 questionsGauze is a woven or non-woven absorbent material used to clean, pack, or cover wounds, while a dressing is the covering applied to a wound to protect it and manage exudate. Gauze can itself be used as a dressing.
Dressings range from basic gauze and non-adherent pads to advanced options such as alginates, foams, and antimicrobial dressings, chosen by wound type and exudate level.
Match the dressing to the wound's moisture level, depth, and infection risk: absorbent dressings for exuding wounds, moisture-retentive dressings for dry wounds, and antimicrobial dressings when infection is a concern.
Gauze is available both sterile and non-sterile. Sterile gauze is used in direct wound contact and procedures, while non-sterile gauze suits general cleaning and secondary use. The product page specifies which applies.
