Gauze Swabs 8 Ply - Aero (100)

AEROSWAB 8 ply gauze swabs are non-sterile, single-use cotton swabs supplied 100 to a pack, available in three square sizes: 5cm, 7.5cm and 10cm. The soft, open-weave 100% cotton holds fluid well, so when wet they help clean and prepare a wound before dressing, and when dry they soak up secretions. Choose the smaller 5cm swabs for fingers, small wounds and packing, the 7.5cm for general cleaning, and the 10cm for broader wound areas and padding. They suit clinics, workplaces, and home first aid kits that go through gauze in volume.

How they are used

Gauze swabs are a wound care staple. Soaked in saline or cleaning solution they lift debris from around a wound, and folded dry they absorb fluid or pad under a retention dressing. As a non-sterile pack they are intended for general cleaning and absorbency rather than direct contact with a clean surgical site, where a sterile swab is the right choice.
