Laparotom gauze 10x10 cm 100 pieces

The Laparotom 10x10 cm gauze is a sterile and reliable solution designed for surgical operations that require maximum safety in the absorption of liquids and the control of blood loss. Each pack contains 100 pieces made with high quality materials, designed to ensure compatibility with fabrics and minimize the risk of adverse reactions. The 10x10 cm size is ideal for a wide range of surgical applications, offering a sufficiently large surface to protect wounds during operations and post-operatively. These gauzes are characterized by a uniform texture that avoids fraying and ensures optimal structural strength during handling. Thanks to the packaging in packs of 100 pieces, they are practical to keep in operating rooms, facilitating inventory management and meeting the needs of both public and private healthcare facilities.

The use of this laparotomy gauze also promotes transpiration of the treated area, helping to keep the wound environment dry and safer from infections. The softness to the touch allows it to be applied even on delicate fabrics, reducing discomfort for the patient. These characteristics make the product a privileged choice for both surgeons and all medical personnel who require reliability and ease of use during the operating phases.

Therapeutic Indications

This product is specifically indicated for use in the surgical field, both human and veterinary, in all situations where a high absorbent power is necessary to support the control of bleeding or for the protection of tissues during invasive procedures. The 10x10 cm Laparotomy Gauzes are essential in extensive abdominal operations, in covering organs or exposed areas, or for circumscribing operational areas reducing the risk of contamination. Also used in cavity filling, they ensure excellent fluid control thanks to their multilayer structure which maximizes absorbent power.

These gauzes can also be used in post-operative dressings where a long-lasting protective and absorbent action is necessary. Also indicated for the management of large or particularly oozing wounds, laparotomy gauze is an indispensable aid in the equipment of operating rooms, emergency rooms and specialized clinics.

The versatility of use also includes the protection of underlying tissues during the use of surgical instruments and the separation of organs during complex abdominal operations. The 10x10 cm Laparotomy Gauzes therefore offer essential support for the safety and success of surgical procedures of various extents and durations.

Composition

The laparotomy gauzes are made of 100% pure cotton wool, a material chosen for its high absorbent capacity and the absence of irritating or allergenic substances. The cotton fabric is subjected to a rigorous sterilization process, which guarantees maximum safety of use in the operating room.

The dense and regular weave prevents the release of fibres, helping to maintain a sterile environment and avoid contamination of the wound or operating field. Each gauze has carefully finished edges to ensure that, even during the cutting or handling phases, there is no risk of fraying.

Packaging in sealed sterile packages allows for easy opening during surgical procedures and maintains the integrity and sterility of the product until use, significantly reducing the risk of cross-infection. The absence of chemical additives or colorants ensures the complete tolerability of the laparotomy gauze for any type of patient.

Contraindications

Although the 10x10 cm laparotomy gauze is generally well tolerated thanks to its natural composition of pure cotton wool, the use of the product is contraindicated in patients with proven hypersensitivity to cotton-derived materials or similar textile products. In case of severe allergic reactions in the past to the use of bandages, swabs or gauze, it is recommended to always consult a specialist before use. Gauze should not be used for prolonged periods without regular evaluation of the condition of the wound or surgical area by qualified medical personnel.

Improper use, such as prolonged stay inside body cavities without careful monitoring or failure to remove after completion of surgical procedures, may pose risks of complications, such as infections or the formation of foreign body granulomas. In the event of intraoperative accidents such as tearing or loss of physical integrity of the gauze, it will be necessary to carry out a careful check to ensure that no fragments remain within the operating field.

Safety of the drug for the species

The 10x10 cm laparotomy gauze, being a medical device and not a drug, has an extremely high safety profile for both human and veterinary use. However, their effectiveness and safety are closely linked to correct use and compliance with sterility procedures. Inadequate handling may pose the risk of bacterial contamination which, in turn, may increase the likelihood of post-operative infections.

It is essential that personnel handling the gauze are adequately trained and always wear sterile gloves, taking care not to touch the sterile surface of the gauze before application. Do not use gauze with compromised packaging or with an expired expiry date, as the loss of sterility voids the safety guarantees of the product. Compliance with the indications for use and the hygienic precautions provided allows the use of laparotomy gauze in most surgical operations without particular limitations, even on fragile or debilitated subjects.

Precautions

When handling laparotomy gauze, it is essential to ensure storage in clean, dry environments and pay attention to the integrity of the packaging until use. The product should only be used in sterile conditions; it is therefore recommended not to open the package until the moment of the procedure. Do not directly touch the gauze with hands not protected by sterile gloves to avoid contamination. After use, the gauzes must be disposed of as special medical waste, following the protocols established by the healthcare facility to eliminate any risk of infection.

In the case of long or complex procedures, it may be appropriate to count the number of gauzes used at the beginning and end of the operation, thus minimizing the risk that material residues may be accidentally left in the surgical cavity. In subjects with particularly sensitive skin, it is advisable to monitor the treated area to exclude irritative or allergic reactions, even if the risk is considered very low thanks to the natural composition of the gauze. Pay particular attention in the presence of large or deep lesions: regular replacement of gauze significantly reduces the risk of infections and promotes optimal healing.

Method of administration

The 10x10 cm laparotomy gauze must be handled exclusively by qualified healthcare personnel. After opening the sterile package, the gauzes can be applied directly to the wound or operating area according to the clinical needs of the case. In abdominal surgery, they are frequently used to delimit the operating field, buffer the blood, protect the organs and absorb any secretions. It is important to place the gauze so as to adequately cover the affected area without exerting excessive pressure so as not to compromise local blood circulation.

The frequency of replacement depends on the extent of bleeding or secretions, but in general it is recommended to change the gauze whenever they become saturated or according to the internal guidelines of the individual healthcare facilities. In case of prolonged use, regularly check the condition of the wound to avoid maceration or infection. At the end of the procedure, carefully remove all gauze, ensuring that no residue is left in the body cavity or on the treated surface.

Treatment program

There is no fixed treatment program for laparotomy gauze, as the frequency and method of use are specified by healthcare personnel based on the severity of the wound, the type of operation and the patient's general condition. For major surgical procedures, gauze is applied as needed for the entire duration of the procedure and replaced whenever it becomes saturated with fluids or biological materials. Post-operatively, medical staff evaluate the need for scheduled replacements based on the rate of exudation and the healing process observed.

In some circumstances, such as when dressing wounds with a high risk of infection, a change of gauze may be required every few hours, while for less serious wounds or with little exudate the replacements may be more frequent. It is essential that any decision in this regard is taken by expert healthcare professionals, in order to guarantee maximum safety and promote the patient's recovery by reducing the risk of complications. Even in prolonged treatments, careful monitoring helps prevent any problems such as secondary infections or slow healing.

Target species

The Laparotom 10x10 cm Gauze is intended for use on humans, but can also be used with great effectiveness in the veterinary field, for all animal species that require surgical procedures or advanced first aid interventions. Its versatility and safety make it suitable for both hospital and outpatient or home use, offering reliable support in any situation where it is necessary to guarantee the protection and sterility of the treated areas.
