Woven gauze pads are single-use, non-medicated dressings made from materials like cotton or cellulose, designed primarily to absorb fluids from wounds, abrasions, or body surfaces. Clinically, they serve to cleanse, cover, or pack wounds while managing exudate, and can also provide a base for applying topical treatments when needed.
These devices are typically classified as single-use and non-antimicrobial, meaning they are not intended for repeated use or to prevent microbial growth. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally supplied sterile or non-sterile depending on their intended use, with classification determined by factors like contact duration and body area.
