The Application of Medical Gauze in Modern Medicine
2026-01-15
Medical gauze is widely used in hospitals and is an essential tool for wound dressing and fixation. Let’s take a closer look at the role medical gauze plays in modern healthcare, as introduced by Yu’an’s editor.
Medical gauze pads are a typical type of medical textile. Depending on their different intended uses, they are categorized into surgical gauze pads, wound-dressing gauze pads, wrapping gauze pads, wiping gauze pads, and medicated gauze pads. The manufacture and selection of medical gauze pads are subject to strict regulations: in addition to specified cutting dimensions, their safety and practicality must meet the requirements stipulated in pharmacopoeias; some products even require specific therapeutic functions.
The gauze must be pure, white, and odorless. When boiled in water, the leachable substances must be within the specified limits, ensuring that it is non-toxic, non-polluting, and non-radioactive, thus guaranteeing its safety and harmlessness to the human body. Practicality means that it easily absorbs blood, filter media solutions, and other bodily fluids; when wet, it maintains its shape; when dry, it feels soft to the touch; it can withstand various disinfection methods; and it is convenient to use—without fraying, linting, or sticking together, and easy to peel off.
One of the key functions of medical degreased gauze is hemostasis. This represents an important direction in the development of degreased gauze. It is made from viscose fiber knitted fabrics that have undergone a special oxidation treatment—without the use of any pharmaceutical agents. Instead, soluble functional groups are grafted onto the fiber structure to form carboxyl groups, thereby generating oxidized cellulose. This material exhibits a chemical hemostatic effect by promoting platelet aggregation and coagulation. Once inside the body, it can be degraded into low-molecular-weight substances and subsequently excreted. Using hemostatic gauze to dress wounds will undoubtedly facilitate faster and healthier healing.
