Acofar Hydrophilic Cotton Gauze is an accessory that has the ability to isolate the wound to protect it from environmental contaminants. This accessory is very soft so as not to discomfort the wound and not to cause pain. The gauze has dimensions of half a square metre. This is a suitable size for cutting it into large pieces and using it several times. Wounds should be cleaned daily, so the old gauze should be thrown away after each use. Another advantage is that any area of the body can be covered, regardless of whether it is large or small.
The main reason for covering wounds is to protect them from dirt and micro-organisms in the environment. If any of these come into contact with the injured skin, they can become infected and more serious complications can arise. What the gauze does in this instance is to serve as protection while the skin repairs itself.
Cotton, on the other hand, has the ability to absorb the fluids generated by the skin as it heals or just perspires. In this way, a better recovery of the damaged tissue is achieved. In addition, this material does not stick to the skin, so it does not interrupt the healing process.
Another advantage is that it is not a gauze that completely seals the wound. This means that it has porosities that allow perspiration. This allows air to reach the wound and accelerate the healing process. On the other hand, it does not cause excessive sweating.
