Gasvävskompresser

Gasvävskompresser, commonly referred to as sterile gauze pads, are absorbent wound dressings made from woven cotton or synthetic fibers. They are a fundamental component in first aid and medical settings, utilized for a variety of purposes related to wound care and hygiene. Their primary function is to cover and protect wounds, preventing infection and absorbing exudate, such as blood or pus.

The open weave structure of gauze allows for air circulation, which can aid in the healing process. They are available in a range of sizes and thicknesses to suit different wound types and needs. Before application to an open wound, gasvävskompresser are typically sterilized to minimize the risk of introducing microorganisms. They are often secured in place with medical tape or bandages.

Beyond wound dressing, gasvävskompresser can be employed for tasks such as cleaning wounds, applying topical medications, and in surgical procedures for absorbing fluids. Their versatility and cost-effectiveness make them a staple in medicine cabinets and healthcare facilities worldwide. Proper handling and disposal are important to maintain sterility and prevent the spread of infection.
