Therapeutic Indications
Non-Sterile Hydrophilic Cotton Carved Gauze 30x30CM 1KG has many therapeutic indications, especially when it is necessary to intervene delicately and precisely in the treatment of skin lesions. Indispensable for covering and protecting open wounds, cuts, abrasions and first-degree burns, hydrophilic cotton gauze is essential for keeping the area affected by bacterial contamination and other pathogens present in the environment clean and protected. Used in combination with topical disinfectants, it allows exudate and body fluids to be effectively absorbed, limiting the risk of infections and promoting correct healing. Recommended for the management of bedsores or skin ulcers, the gauze can be applied daily to monitor the state of the lesion and ensure skin transpiration, an essential element for the healing process.
The large size allows you to cover large surfaces, making it also suitable for dressings on large body areas that require frequent dressing changes. It can be cut, folded and overlapped according to specific needs, proving extremely adaptable to the most varied therapeutic needs. Also excellent for preventative use in bedridden people, gauze represents a valid ally to prevent skin complications from prolonged immobility. The product is suitable for providing an immediate and safe solution even in emergency dressings, thanks to its ease of use and its large absorbent power which effectively limits the leakage of exudates and body fluids during rescue.
Composition
Active ingredient: The Non-Sterile Hydrophilic Cotton Carved Gauze 30x30CM 1KG is made entirely of pure hydrophilic cotton, a material known for its high absorbent capacity and its delicacy in contact with the skin. The cotton wool is subjected to careful production processes that make it particularly soft, hypoallergenic and free of impurities, ensuring an optimal level of tolerability even on sensitive or irritated skin.
Excipients: The product does not contain additives, perfumes, optical brighteners or potentially aggressive chemical substances. Its simple and natural composition allows safe and prolonged use in healthcare, medical and domestic fields. Since it is not sterile, it is intended exclusively to be used for external dressing on intact skin or as an intermediate layer in dressings that will subsequently be sterilized or protected with further sterile covers.
The high quality of the cotton fiber ensures maximum resistance to tears and manipulation, maintaining its absorbency and softness properties for the entire duration of use. The cotton wool fiber used complies with the standards required for non-sterile medical devices, guaranteeing safety and effectiveness in the management of daily medications.
Contraindications
The use of Non-Sterile Hydrophilic Cotton Cut Gauze 30x30CM 1KG is generally safe for almost all users. However, the use of the product is contraindicated in the presence of proven or presumed hypersensitivity to cotton, which could manifest itself with redness, itching or local reactions after application. Direct use on deep wounds, serious burns or on skin areas where a strictly sterile environment is required is not recommended; in such cases it is preferable to use specific sterile gauze.
The use of non-sterile gauze for the protection of invasive medical devices (such as drains, catheters or venous lines) or for covering fresh surgical wounds is contraindicated, given the possibility, albeit remote, of contamination. If signs of infection or irritation appear, stop use immediately and consult a doctor or nurse. Do not use on severely damaged skin without adequate clinical evaluation and without the necessary hygienic precautions to avoid further complications.
Safety of the drug for the species
The Non-Sterile Carved Hydrophilic Cotton Gauze 30x30CM 1KG, being made of natural material and free of added chemical substances, is generally well tolerated by the human organism. The product has been specifically developed to ensure its safety in all age groups, including children, the elderly and people with delicate skin. The use of gauze is suitable for the management of superficial wounds, abrasions, abrasions or small skin lesions, providing valid mechanical insulation from external agents.
To ensure maximum safety, it is important to never reuse the same portion of gauze already applied, to avoid risks of cross-contamination. Once used, the gauze must be disposed of correctly as indicated for potentially infectious medical waste. Careful handling of cotton wool, together with correct hygiene practices such as hand washing before and after application, ensures safe use even in emergency situations. The non-sterile gauze, if used following the instructions for use and precautions indicated, reduces any possible risk associated with its use to a minimum.
Precautions
When handling the Non-Sterile Hydrophilic Cotton Slotted Gauze 30x30CM 1KG it is necessary to take some precautions to ensure effective and safe use. Before application, it is essential to wash your hands thoroughly and, if possible, wear disposable gloves, to reduce the risk of infection. The gauze should be used on clean, dry skin, avoiding touching the surface that will come into direct contact with the wound. Since the product is non-sterile, it must not be used as the only protective layer in the case of deep wounds, surgical wounds or the subject of a specific medical intervention.
Store the gauze in a cool, dry place protected from direct light, to prevent deterioration of the cotton and the accumulation of dust or contaminants. After opening the package, close carefully to safeguard the integrity of the remaining product. Keep out of reach of children and pets. In the event of an accident, such as contact with chemicals or polluting liquids, discard the gauze and use a new segment. Prolonged use or application on compromised skin must be carried out under medical advice.
Method of administration
The Non-Sterile Hydrophilic Cotton Cut Gauze 30x30CM 1KG must be applied quickly and easily: cut or separate the quantity of gauze needed according to the size of the area to be treated, adapting it by folding or layering based on the depth or nature of the lesion. Place gently on the skin after cleansing and disinfecting the affected area; the structure of the gauze allows it to absorb humidity and exudates without traumatically adhering to the skin, favoring frequent replacement of the dressing.
Replacement must take place every time the gauze appears saturated or compromised in its protective function, on average every 3-4 hours in the presence of abundant exudate or according to medical indication. It can be kept in place using a light bandage or with hypoallergenic plasters, which must be changed regularly to prevent skin irritation. After each use, dispose of residues appropriately. The application can be repeated until the lesion heals, or as needed in the case of preventing sores or supporting other medical procedures.
Treatment program
The treatment program involving the Non-Sterile Hydrophilic Cotton Slotted Gauze 30x30CM 1KG is defined based on the type and severity of the lesion. For superficial wounds and minor abrasions, simply apply a new layer of gauze every time the dressing appears damp or dirty. In the case of exudative lesions or those that require greater protection, replacement can be more frequent, even every few hours, in order to keep the area constantly dry and promote the natural process of skin re-epithelization.
For chronic ulcers or bedsores, the usage protocol involves regular changes guided by the evaluation of the state of the lesion and the extent of the secretion. Gauze can also be used every day as a protective or absorbent layer in complex medical dressings, in combination with other sterile materials if required. In first aid treatments, the gauze acts as the first barrier against contamination until thorough medical evaluation. The overall duration of the application depends on the speed of healing of the lesion and the nature of the intervention required, being able to be extended for as long as necessary to keep the skin intact and protected.
Target species
The Non-Sterile Hydrophilic Cotton Cut Gauze 30x30CM 1KG is intended exclusively for human use. It can be used on people of all age groups, from childhood to advanced age, making it suitable both for the daily management of small skin traumas and as part of specific treatments such as treatments for ulcers, abrasions or the prevention of bedsores. The product is not suitable for purposes other than topical application on intact or damaged skin. It is recommended to follow the instructions and consult a healthcare professional for use on complex lesions or in the presence of particular clinical conditions. The gauze can be kept available both at home for small emergencies and in professional contexts for basic dressing needs, representing a valid ally for daily health and skin protection.
