Gauze Pads

Gauze Pads are important first aid essentials that help in absorbing blood and other fluids. They can also be used for applying medicine or cleaning the wound bed. Medical gauze pads are composed of an open weave fabric that creates a barrier but allows air to pass through the fibers. They are frequently used by many medical professionals. It is also found that a surgical gauze pad with adhesive tape is much more effective in treating excessive bleeding as compared to a traditional bandage. At Shop Wound Care, we offer a wide range of gauze pads from various top-selling brands like Curad, Kendall, Nexcare, etc.

Types of Gauze Pads

Two common types of gauze pads are non-adhesive and self-adhesive gauze pads. They are explained below:

Non-Adhesive Gauze Pads

Non-adhesive gauze pads are held in place with the help of self-adhesive bandages or adhesive tapes. This makes them very versatile and suitable for managing a wide range of wounds and medical conditions.

Self-Adhesive Gauze Pads

Self-adhesive gauze pads feature a sticky surface that helps them adhere to the skin. They provide more freedom of movement and can be left on the wound site for hours without any requirement of adhesive tapes or bandages.

Benefits of using Sterile Gauze Pads

• Used to cover a variety of wounds like cuts, burns, abrasions and blisters
• Provide a protective barrier to germs
• Allow oxygen to pass through the fibers and reach the skin to promote healing
• Slight pressure on the sterile gauze dressing can slow down the bleeding
• Come in an airtight container or sleeve to maintain sterility
