What is gauze pad?

Gauze pads are made of finely woven fibers of cotton or other materials such as polyester. They are designed to be absorbent and easily moldable for use in first aid situations to clean and wrap wounds. Gauze pads can come in different shapes and sizes, including squares, rectangles, and strips, and can be layered to increase absorption capacity. They are typically sterile, or can be sterilized before use to prevent infection. In addition to first aid use, gauze pads are also commonly used in surgical and medical settings.
