The 20x20 cm Laparotomy Gauze is an essential medical device, packaged in practical packs of 100 pieces and ideal for all surgical procedures that require safety, reliability and speed of action. Made of high quality pure cotton, the gauze is characterized by a soft consistency, which ensures maximum comfort in contact with the tissues and minimizes the risk of irritation or trauma. The dimensions of 20x20 cm make it extremely versatile: it is perfect for swabbing large surfaces, absorbing large quantities of liquids and controlling blood loss during operations. The large surface also allows you to cover large areas of the operating field, ensuring optimal protection of exposed tissues and reducing the need for frequent replacements. The construction quality minimizes the dispersion of fibers, safeguarding the purity of the operating site. Each gauze is packaged in such a way as to maintain sterility until use; the layered arrangement facilitates rapid and orderly collection even in moments of greatest operating urgency. Thanks to its resistant and well-finished structure, the 20x20 cm Laparotomy Gauze stands out as a reliable choice in both small and large operations, supporting surgical teams in every hospital context.
Therapeutic Indications
Laparotomy gauze measuring 20x20 cm are recommended for use in surgical interventions, both in the abdominal area and in other areas where it is necessary to swab, protect or separate tissues and organs during the different phases of the operation. This type of gauze is used to absorb blood, exudates or other biological fluids, helping to keep the operating field dry and safe, promoting the efficiency of the medical team and reducing the risks of cross-contamination between the various operating parts. Also used in the management of deep or extensive wounds and in the prevention of adhesions between tissues, the 20x20 cm Laparotomy Gauze allows you to improve the control of bleeding and protect damaged or delicate surfaces. Thanks to its high absorbent capacity and ease of manipulation, it is particularly suitable for all major surgical procedures and in those clinical situations where timely and safe management of body fluids is required.
Composition
Material: High quality pure cotton, selected to guarantee softness, resistance and high absorbency. The structure of the gauze is made with finely woven yarns, so as to minimize the dispersion of residual fibers in the operating site. The absence of chemical additives or potentially irritating substances makes the product highly tolerable by the skin and internal tissues. The gauze is subjected to numerous quality controls to ensure the total sterility of each package. The 20x20 cm size is designed to offer a large contact surface while maintaining the lightness and practicality that characterize the device. The high purity of the cotton guarantees maximum respect for even the most delicate fabrics encountered during surgical procedures.
Contraindications
The use of the 20x20 cm Laparotomy Gauze does not present any particular contraindications, except for subjects who show sensitivity or proven allergy to materials of natural origin such as cotton. It is important to avoid the use of gauze in case of damaged or tampered packaging which could compromise the sterility of the product. It must not be left inside the body at the end of the operation unless explicitly provided for by the operating protocol - in this case it is recommended to use gauze with a radiopaque indicator. Correct removal at the end of the procedure is always recommended to prevent complications. In the presence of particular pathologies, consult a doctor to evaluate the suitability for use.
Safety of the drug for the species
The 20x20 cm Laparotomy Gauze is designed to guarantee high safety of use, thanks to its composition free of toxic substances and non-irritating to human tissues. High precision machining eliminates the risk of particle or filament release, improving intraoperative safety and reducing the risk of post-operative infections. The product is packaged in double sterile packaging which ensures protection from contaminating agents until use. Also suitable for people with sensitive skin or particular pathologies, the gauze maintains its qualitative characteristics even for prolonged use during long operations without altering the stability of the material in contact with organic fluids.
Precautions
During use it is essential to follow strict asepsis standards to avoid contamination of the gauze before use. Do not use on infected wounds unless under strict medical supervision. Avoid use on patients with known hypersensitivity to cotton. Once the package is opened, use the gauze immediately and do not store it outside of its sterile packaging. Before use, always check the integrity of the packaging; any damaged or accidentally opened packages must be discarded to avoid risks of contamination or ineffectiveness of the product. Pay particular attention to gauze counting during and after the procedure to ensure that no pieces are unintentionally left at the surgical sites.
Method of administration
The 20x20 cm Laparotomy Gauze must be used directly on the area to be treated or swabbed according to the instructions received from the responsible surgeon or competent medical personnel. It can be used both for direct wound packing and for the absorption of liquids in the operating area. Handling must be carried out with sterile forceps or surgical gloves to preserve the sterility of the product. At the end of use, proceed to dispose of the gauze appropriately, following the rules for the disposal of contaminated medical materials. If necessary, the removal and replacement procedure must be carried out promptly to always ensure the best hygienic-sanitary and surgical conditions.
Treatment program
The use of the 20x20 cm Laparotomy Gauze must follow standard surgical practices and control procedures throughout the entire operation. The replacement and renewal of the gauze must be evaluated by healthcare personnel based on its saturation level and the patient's needs. In particularly prolonged or complex operations it is advisable to carry out frequent replacements to maintain constant absorption of liquids and guarantee optimal visibility of the operating field. After surgery, all gauze must be accounted for to avoid accidental retention on site. The use program may vary based on the type of operation and the patient's clinical condition.
Target species
Medical device intended exclusively for use on human patients, in hospital, outpatient and specialist surgical settings. It can be used on any age group, respecting the usual precautions relating to the control and handling of sterile materials as well as any particular conditions of the patient.
