Gauze strips, non-antimicrobial, are thin, woven materials like cotton or cellulose used to pack open wounds that drain fluid. Their primary purpose is to absorb exudates—such as pus or blood—while providing gentle support to promote healing in draining wounds.
These devices are typically single-use and classified as medical devices rather than drugs, though they may be pre-soaked with medication by a clinician. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally considered low-risk and often supplied sterile for direct wound care applications.
