Curad Pro Sterile Gauze Pads FAQs
Why are gauze pads effective for wound care?
Gauze pads offer a combination of benefits, including cushioning and protecting the wound from external factors, and effectively wicking away and absorbing fluids to keep the wound clean. The lint-free material also ensures a clean healing environment.
How do the layers of a gauze pad help?
The multiple layers create a soft, comfortable cushion that protects the wound. In some pads, like the CURAD Small Gauze Pads, extra cellulose layers are included to significantly increase absorbency.
What does it mean for a gauze pad to be "lint-free"? Why is that important?
Lint-free means the material doesn't shed fibers that could stick to the wound. This is important because these fibers can irritate the wound and potentially interfere with the healing process.
Are all gauze pads absorbent?
Yes, gauze pads are generally absorbent, but the level of absorbency can vary. Pads with extra absorbent layers, like those containing cellulose, will have a higher capacity for soaking up fluids.
