What are Option+ Medium Gauze Pads Used For?
Overview
Option+ Medium Gauze Pads are a staple in any first aid kit, designed to provide a clean and absorbent barrier for wound care. These sterile pads are ideal for covering and protecting minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. Their medium size (7.6cm x 7.6cm) makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, offering a balance between coverage and ease of use.
Key Features and Benefits
Superior Absorbency
Option+ Gauze Pads are highly absorbent, quickly soaking up blood and wound exudate. This helps to keep the wound clean and promotes faster healing. The absorbent nature of the pads minimizes the risk of infection by drawing away fluids that could harbor bacteria.

- Reduced Infection Risk: Effective at removing fluids that could lead to infection.

- Apply the Pad: Carefully place a sterile Option+ Gauze Pad over the wound, ensuring it covers the entire area.
- Secure the Pad: Secure the pad in place using medical tape or a suitable bandage. Ensure the tape or bandage is not too tight to avoid restricting blood flow.
