Medigauze Gauze Swabs are made of a pre-washed, fluff dried 100% woven gauze with unique crinkle-weave pattern for loft and bulk. Our Gauze Swabs provide fast-wicking action, superior aeration, and excellent absorbency. Finished edges on the product reduce loose ends and lint. Each swab is 8-ply with finished edges which reduces loose ends and lint which in turn reduces the risk of wound contamination and granulomas. The gauze can be used as a primary dressing, open-weave design provides fast wicking action, superior aeration and excellent absorbency; reduced risk of maceration. As a secondary dressing, the gauze can be used to provide increased bulk and cushioning, conformability, and improved wound site protection. Ideal for bandaging heads, limbs and difficult-to-dress wounds; i.e. – burns, plastic and orthopaedic wounds.
