Packaged in sterile envelopes, our 8-ply 100% pure gauze pads are perfectly suited for cleaning wounds and applying medication or antiseptic. These non-adherent, all-purpose pads permit the wound to drain while allowing air in. They can be stacked to absorb additional fluid and can be removed without re-opening the wound. To use: remove from package and apply directly to wound, using tape, gauze or elastic bandage to wrap.
