Cotton wool rolls are absorbent pads made from cotton or synthetic fibers, formed into a continuous length for easy dispensing and use. They are commonly employed in healthcare and home settings as a general-purpose material for absorbing fluids, providing cushioning, or padding wounds and surfaces, but are not designed as bandages or specialized dressings.
These devices are intended for single-use only and are supplied as non-sterile or sterile products depending on the intended application. Regulation focuses on their material safety, absorbency, and biocompatibility, with classification typically based on their low-risk nature as non-invasive, non-medicated absorbent aids.
