Overview & Mechanism of Action
- Gauze Swabs 3x3 Non-Sterile (pack of 100 individual $3'' \times 3''$ / $7.5\text{cm} \times 7.5\text{cm}$ multi-ply pads) provides reliable absorbency and mechanical cleansing for non-invasive medical procedures:
- 100% Pure Cotton Woven Structure: Crafted from natural, highly absorbent 100% cotton fibers featuring a woven mesh grid that rapidly draws fluids, blood, and exudate away from skin surfaces through capillary action.
- Folded Edge Design & Reduced Linting: Folded edges prevent loose threads and fiber shedding into surface wounds, reducing the risk of foreign-body irritation during skin cleansing and prepping.
- Multi-Ply Softness & Cushioned Protection: Multi-layer ply construction offers exceptional mechanical cushioning, wet strength, and structural integrity when saturated with antiseptics, saline solutions, or topical ointments.
