Gauze 10x10 cm 1 kg

The 10x10cm 1kg gauze is an essential medical device for the management of wounds and dressings in both home and professional settings. The product comes in the form of one kilogram of gauze made of high quality cotton fibres, appropriately woven to ensure high absorbent power. The dimensions of 10 x 10 cm make this type of gauze extremely versatile, suitable for covering wounds of different size, for packing and protecting abrasions, cuts, abrasions, surgical sutures, skin grafts, drainage points or for the simple absorption of biological fluids. The structure of the gauze promotes effective skin transpiration, reducing the risk of maceration and promotes a controlled environment, promoting correct healing of the damaged skin. The kg format allows for more economical management and reduces material waste, ideal both for continuous use in healthcare facilities and for families who want a product always available at home. Non-sterile, the gauze can be easily cut or folded as needed, also adapting to irregular or difficult to reach surfaces. The softness and delicacy to the touch make it suitable for even the most sensitive skin, including pediatric use or on subjects with fragile skin.

Therapeutic Indications

The 10x10 cm 1 kg gauze is primarily indicated in the treatment and protection of acute and chronic wounds, superficial burns, pressure ulcers, surgical wounds and areas subjected to skin removal or drainage, offering a dry and clean environment that minimizes the risk of infection. It can be used to absorb exudate, haemorrhagic or serohaematic liquids and for the secondary coverage of impregnated dressings, plasters, ointments or other specific aids indicated by healthcare personnel. In the management of emergencies, gauze is used to staunch bleeding while awaiting more complex interventions, both in out-of-hospital settings and during routine medications carried out at home. It is also suitable for making hot or cold compresses, for delicate cleansing of body parts, to support the absorption of topical creams or to delimit and protect skin areas following dermatological processes including dermatitis, eczema or mild infections. Thanks to the possibility of being sterilized, the 10x10 cm 1 kg gauze can also be used in contexts that require high standards of asepsis, such as operating rooms, veterinary clinics, inpatient departments, first aid clinics and long-term care facilities. The format allows you to take the necessary quantity without waste and adapts to different medication protocols, even complex and prolonged ones.

Composition

Active ingredient: The 10x10 cm 1 kg gauze is made with pure cotton yarns, free of chemical additives, dyes or other potentially irritating substances. The textile material is characterized by a regular and resistant weave, which gives high absorbency and robustness to the gauze tablet. The selected cotton fibers are subjected to whitening and sanitization processes to guarantee maximum purity and compatibility with use on damaged or delicate skin.

Excipients: Does not contain chemical agents, latex, synthetic additives or other allergenic substances. The naturalness of cotton allows it to be used even on very reactive or sensitive skin. The impurity-free composition ensures that no particles or residues are released onto the skin during use. The gauze is easily cut without fraying and maintains its integrity during prolonged use.

Contraindications

Using the 10x10cm 1kg gauze is generally safe for most people. However, use is not recommended in individuals with a known allergy or sensitivity to cotton. If skin irritation, persistent redness, itching or local allergic symptoms occur, immediately discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Gauze is not indicated as the only aid in highly hemorrhagic wounds that require specific aids to stop the bleeding quickly. Do not use on infected wounds without adequate antiseptic or antibiotic dressing prescribed by your doctor. It is recommended to avoid direct contact with deep wounds, exposed internal organs or very delicate tissues without the support of healthcare personnel. If in doubt about the management of the dressing, always consult a professional.

Safety of the drug for the species

The 10x10 cm 1 kg gauze guarantees a very high safety profile for human use and, upon veterinary indication, also in the field of animal care. Its pure cotton composition makes it hypoallergenic and also suitable for subjects with particular skin sensitivity, the elderly or small children. It does not contain latex or sensitizing agents. The non-sterile product, if necessary, can be subjected to sterilization processes such as autoclaving or use of home sterilizers before use on open wounds or in environments requiring more rigorous asepsis standards. It is important not to reuse portions already in contact with damaged parts as this may pose a risk of bacterial contamination or cross infection. In the case of use on pets, the compatibility assessment must be entrusted to a veterinarian.

Precautions

Before using the 10x10 cm 1 kg gauze, make sure your hands are always clean and dry. In case of use on deep or surgical wounds, proceed with correct cleansing of the skin and, if necessary, disinfect the area before applying the gauze. Store the product in a clean, dry place away from direct light or heat sources that could alter the quality of the cotton. Avoid using gauze if the material appears contaminated, stained, damaged or wet to ensure maximum safety. Pay particular attention when cutting so that no fibers or fragments are dispersed in the wound. Keep the product out of the reach of children, especially to avoid accidental ingestion or suffocation in small children. In case of prolonged use or on large lesions, consult healthcare personnel regularly for the correct management of the dressing.

Method of administration

The 10x10 cm 1 kg gauze is applied directly to the area to be treated. It can be used alone or combined with specific disinfectant solutions, creams or ointments according to the instructions received from the doctor or nurse. The use involves cutting or folding the gauze until obtaining the desired size necessary to cover the entire surface of the lesion or the area to be protected. We recommend fixing with an elastic bandage, plasters or retaining nets in order to keep the position stable until the dressing is changed. The gauze should be changed according to the frequency indicated by the healthcare professional or whenever the compress is excessively impregnated with liquid, dirty or no longer suitable for maintaining the hygiene conditions required for optimal healing of the skin.

Treatment program

The frequency and duration of use of the 10x10 cm 1 kg gauze depend on the nature and extent of the lesion, the patient's clinical condition and the specific indications received from the healthcare personnel. In general, in superficial or small wounds, the gauze should be replaced at least once a day or whenever it becomes saturated with exudate. In chronic lesions, ulcers or surgical wounds, the protocols include daily or more frequent changes in the presence of abundant secretions, fever, redness or infections. For making compresses or for the absorption of liquids, the gauze can also be used several times throughout the day, always ensuring compliance with hygiene standards. In complex medications it is always advisable to follow the treatment program indicated by the treating doctor.
