Acofar Hydrophilic Cotton Sterile Gauze in compresses has a wide variety of uses, as it serves as protection to stop bleeding and for cleaning. It is a piece of eight absorbent layers and 20 threads each layer, of very soft fabric.
Acofar Hydrophilic Cotton Sterile Gauze is used especially for cleaning various wounds on the body. This is thanks to its softness and the fact that it does not release residues such as lint, which allows the asepsis of the wound to be carried out safely.
Isolating dust and germs are two of the objectives of covering wounds, because they can become infected and cause further discomfort. In addition, this limits the evaporation of CO₂ without moistening the wound, as the gauze allows the gaseous exchange necessary for healing.
Gauze is useful for wound pressure because as long as it is in its individual envelope, it is free of contamination. Hence, when pressure needs to be applied to a wound, gauze is helpful in maintaining blood flow to the affected area.
The gauze can absorb blood, sweat and other fluids, which is why it is a piece of gauze that can be used to collect these fluids to control exudation. This asepsis is maintained until approximately 75% of the gauze is soaked through, at which point it can begin to become contaminated.
These are some of the benefits of sterile gauze, which has been prepared in this way to ensure maximum care. They cover the skin and can affect wound healing.
Farmaciasdirect recommends the use of this gauze for those who need to clean wounds or cover them. This is the reason why it is one of the first aid items that cannot be missing in a first aid kit.
To cover wounds, apply adequate asepsis and proceed to place the gauze, always trying not to press on the centre of the wound. Adhere the gauze using hypoallergenic tape.
For oozing wounds, it is recommended to change the gauze when you notice that 75% of the wound is already covered with fluid.
To wash and clean wounds, it is necessary to use a saline or antiseptic solution to moisten the gauze. Then gently dab the gauze over the area to be cleaned. Change the gauze periodically to ensure proper asepsis.
Not recommended for ophthalmological or surgical purposes.
