Why Choose Our Sterile Gauze Compresses for Your Procedures?

Managing minor injuries in the workplace requires reliable and certified tools. By choosing these 3 x 3 in sterile gauze pads, you are opting for a medical-grade texture that is lint-free and respects skin integrity. Each compress is protected by a sealed envelope, allowing you to store the gauze pads in your first aid cabinet without risk of environmental contamination. Their superior absorption capacity effectively manages bleeding while providing a soft barrier against impurities. This is the ideal investment to ensure your first aid kits comply with occupational health and safety (OHS) standards while providing optimal comfort to the injured person.

• Quantity: 100 swabs per box
• Sterile: Provide optimum protection against infection
• Use: Perfect for protecting wounds and absorbing blood or other fluids

To properly apply gauze pads, follow these steps:

1. Wash your hands: Before touching the wound or gauze pad, make sure your hands are clean to avoid infection.
2. Prepare the wound: Gently clean the wound with soap and water or an antiseptic solution.
3. Apply the gauze pad: Hold the pad by the edges to avoid touching the part that will be in contact with the wound. Place it directly on the wound.
4. Secure the pad: Use medical tape or a bandage to hold the pad in place. Make sure the bandage is not too tight to avoid cutting off blood circulation.
5. Monitor the wound: Change the gauze pad regularly, especially if it becomes damp or dirty. Check the wound for any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling or discharge.

How to Install and Store Your Box of Gauze Pads

For optimal accessibility, place the box of sterile gauze pads on the center shelf of your first aid cabinet. Its compact size allows it to fit easily into medical supply drawers. It is recommended to keep the box away from excessive moisture and heat sources to preserve the integrity of the paper packaging. Clearly identify the storage area with a "Dressings and Compresses" label to speed up intervention during an emergency.

How to Maintain Your First Aid Inventory

Maintaining your sterile material stock relies on periodic inspections. Check the box for any physical damage that could compromise the individual pouches. Although these gauze pads are robust, they have an expiration date that must be respected to guarantee sterility. Restock your 100-unit box as soon as you begin using the last few pouches to maintain a constant level of readiness for workplace accidents.

Usage Tips for Optimal Healing

For effective care, first clean your hands. Open the sterile pouch and use the gauze pad to gently blot the injured area. If the wound requires long-term coverage, place a 3 x 3 in compress in the center and secure it with medical adhesive tape or a cohesive bandage. Its 7.6 cm size allows it to cover the lesion broadly without being too bulky on the limbs. For healthy healing, change the compress as soon as it becomes wet from water or body fluids.
