The role of medical gauze in modern medicine
2026-01-15
Medical gauze is widely used in hospitals and is an essential tool that hospitals cannot do without, employed for dressing and securing patients’ wounds. Let’s take a closer look at the role medical gauze plays in modern medicine.
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 also need to possess 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 should readily absorb blood and other bodily fluids, maintain its shape when wet, feel soft when dry, withstand various disinfection methods, be easy to use, not fray or lint, and peel off easily.
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.
