What is Gauze Sponge?
Gauze sponges are disposable medical supplies used every day in hospitals and medical offices around the world. They are ordinarily made of gauze and are used to absorb blood and other fluids as well as clean wounds.
The open weave design of gauze sponges assists with the removal of dead tissue from the skin surface as well as vertically wick fluid from the wound onto any secondary dressing to assist with preventing maceration of skin tissue. In order to avoid leaving gauze sponges in bodies, some kinds of gauze sponge are woven with X-ray detectable thread.
What is Non-woven Sponge Gauze?
Non-woven gauzeis made from fibers that are pressed together to resemble a weave. This results in increased absorbency and better wicking. Non woven gauze is usually made from synthetic fibers like rayon, polyester or a blend. This type of gauze is stronger, bulkier and softer than woven gauze, and produces less lint. However, non-woven gauze tends to cost a bit more.
