Gauze strip, antimicrobial

An antimicrobial gauze strip is a thin, woven dressing made from materials like cotton or cellulose that has been treated with an antimicrobial agent such as iodoform. It is clinically used to pack draining wounds, helping to absorb exudates while reducing microbial presence in the wound bed.

This category includes single-use devices that may be soaked with additional medications prior to application, though those medications are not part of the device itself. These strips are regulated as medical devices based on their intended use and construction, with classification determined by jurisdiction-specific rules.
