Therapeutic Indications
The 10x10 cm folded non-sterile gauzes are mainly indicated for the cleaning and protection of superficial wounds, abrasions, abrasions, minor burns and inflamed skin areas that do not require procedures in a sterile environment. These gauzes are ideal in the cleansing and absorption phase of exudates thanks to their ability to retain liquids, blood or fluids during the dressing processes. They are widely used for the gentle removal of debris from the skin or for staunching small blood spills following blood tests, injections or medications. Also suitable for the application of creams, gels, ointments and disinfectants, they facilitate the uniform distribution of products on the affected area without irritating the skin. Used in outpatient, domestic, school or retirement home contexts for the management of the first stages of skin trauma, in the daily hygiene of bedridden patients, or for physiotherapeutic and sporting activities where skin protection and cleansing is required. Not suitable for invasive surgical procedures or for use on deep wounds that require sterile devices, non-sterile gauze is essential for the daily management of minor injuries and for the prevention of infections in non-hospitalized environments.
Thanks to the folded shape, manipulation remains easy and precise, adapting both to direct use on the skin and as an intermediate layer in multilayer bandages used to cover larger areas or to provide padding and additional protection where necessary.
Composition
Material: 100% cotton wool, free from added chemicals, expertly woven to obtain a soft, resistant and highly absorbent texture. The hydrophilic cotton used in these gauzes guarantees the absence of irritating residues and advanced compatibility with all skin types, including sensitive, neonatal or allergic skin. The open mesh texture facilitates rapid fluid absorption and promotes wound perspiration, thus aiding in the promotion of an environment conducive to healing. Each sheet of gauze is folded in such a way as to minimize the risk of fraying and fiber loss, a fundamental feature for maintaining cleanliness and preventing contamination even in routine treatments. The absence of sterilization predisposes the gauze to targeted use on superficial wounds and for general skin care, leaving the original properties of the cotton unaltered which remains intact and free of potentially sensitizing chemical treatments.
The standard 10x10 cm dimensions have been designed to ensure wide and uniform coverage without wasting material and facilitate application on different anatomical regions of both the adult and pediatric body. The packaging takes place in packs of 100 pieces, maintaining the characteristics of softness, purity and absorbency of the product intact until use.
Contraindications
Do not use nonsterile gauze on deep wounds, severe burns, or injuries requiring surgical management. Its use is not recommended on skin areas where there are active infection phenomena or abundant secretions that require sterile management or specific medical monitoring. The product is unsuitable for use on internal mucous membranes, exposed organs or during invasive surgical procedures, where the use of certified sterile devices is instead indicated. Prolonged contact on extremely sensitized skin or skin subject to allergic processes can, in rare cases, cause local irritation or contact dermatitis; in these cases it is recommended to stop use and consult a healthcare professional. Use on infected wounds or in the presence of necrotic material must be subjected to clinical evaluation, because non-sterile gauze can increase the risk of contamination rather than promoting healing. Do not use gauze if the package is damaged or contaminated. Keep out of reach of unsupervised children.
Product safety for the human species
The 10x10 cm Non-Sterile Folded Gauze are produced respecting rigorous quality and safety standards, making them compatible even with the most sensitive skin and with the needs of children, the elderly and people with minor skin conditions. The 100% hydrophilic cotton guarantees softness and reduced risk of hair or residue formation during application. However, prolonged use without changing the gauze can cause skin maceration, especially in the home on bedridden patients or those with reduced mobility, and it is therefore advisable to change the gauze after each use to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination. It is also important to avoid reusing the same gauze to limit the transmission of bacteria or pathogens. The absence of residual chemical agents minimizes the risk of unwanted reactions, but itching or redness may appear in subjects predisposed to sensitization, phenomena which generally regress upon discontinuation of use.
In case of prolonged use, observe any signs of local alterations and consult a doctor in case of worsening of skin conditions. Correct handling and storage of the package, away from sources of heat or humidity, preserves the quality of the gauze over time.
Precautions
Before use, ensure that the gauze is intact, clean and free from traces of dirt or visible contaminants. Do not touch the gauze with dirty hands to avoid the risk of contamination during dressing. In case of small cuts or abrasions, careful cleansing of the area with non-aggressive antiseptic solutions is recommended before positioning the gauze; For exuding wounds, replace the gauze frequently to keep the area dry and promote healing. Once the gauze has been removed from the package, immediately replace the remaining package away from dust and humidity, carefully closing the package. Dispose of used gauze in appropriate containers for medical waste and do not throw it into the environment. In the presence of particular clinical conditions, such as diabetes or immunosuppression, the application of the gauze must take place after an adequate medical evaluation. Do not use gauze on deeply infected wounds or in combination with caustic or hypersensitizing solutions.
Monitor the wound over time: if it worsens, becomes red, swollen or signs of infection appear (bad odor, increased pain), stop self-medication and promptly contact a healthcare professional.
Method of administration
The non-sterile gauze should be placed delicately on the area to be treated after having thoroughly cleaned the area. It can be fixed directly to the skin using an adhesive plaster, bandage or other suitable containment system. If used to absorb blood or other liquids, dab gently without rubbing, to avoid further damage to surrounding tissues. The gauze can be used both as a support to impregnate disinfectants, detergents or antiseptic solutions, or simply to protect the injured area during daily activities. After use, dispose of the gauze carefully and wash your hands. Repeat the operation every time a new dressing is applied or in any case according to the clinical needs assessed by the user or the relevant healthcare personnel.
It is recommended not to reuse the same material for subsequent treatments, to guarantee hygiene and safety.
Treatment program
The methods of use of non-sterile gauze depend exclusively on the conditions and state of the treated area. In case of superficial wounds, it is recommended to change the gauze with each dressing or when it is visibly damp or dirty. In daily use situations, such as cleansing the skin or removing secretions, replace each piece after each step to avoid the spread of germs or bacteria. In multi-medical patients, the frequency of changes can be increased to reduce the risk of infections. In sports, school or home activities, always keep an adequate supply of gauze to be able to intervene promptly in the event of small accidents or temporary hygiene needs. For low exuding wounds, it is possible to schedule the change every 12-24 hours; for wounds subject to more abundant secretions, follow the recommendations of the healthcare personnel and proceed more frequently.
In all cases, treatment must be prolonged until the lesion is completely healed or as indicated by doctors and health professionals.
