What is "gauze"?
Gauze is a lightweight, breathable fabric used in medical settings for wound care and bandaging. It is typically made from cotton or synthetic fibers and comes in various forms, such as pads, rolls, or strips. Gauze is highly absorbent, allowing it to soak up fluids from wounds while maintaining a sterile environment. It is commonly used to cover and protect wounds, encourage healing, and apply medications or cleaning solutions.
