Description
Hicks Steriswab Sterile Gauze Swab is a medical-grade cotton dressing used for wound care. These swabs are suitable for cleaning minor wounds, applying antiseptics, and providing a protective covering. Made from 100% cotton, they are designed to be absorbent and soft. The 12-ply construction offers cushioning, while the sterile nature of the swab helps prevent the introduction of bacteria into an open wound. This makes it a staple for first-aid kits in homes, clinics, and hospitals.
Sterile and Hygienic: Each swab is individually packaged to remain free from microorganisms until opened, which is important for preventing wound contamination.
Highly Absorbent Material: Made from 100% cotton with a 12-ply thickness, these swabs are designed for high absorption of blood and other fluids.
Soft and Non-Linting: The material is soft and designed to reduce the risk of fibres being left behind in the wound, which supports the healing process.
Multipurpose Application: Suitable for cleaning wounds, applying medication, dressing minor injuries, and as a secondary dressing.
Standard Size: The 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm dimension is a versatile size for handling various types of minor cuts and abrasions.

A: This sterile gauze swab is intended for cleaning, dressing, and preparing wounds, serving as a protective layer to minimize the risk of contamination.

A: The term '12 Ply' refers to the thickness of the swab, meaning it is constructed with 12 layers of gauze material for increased absorbency of fluids and exudates from a wound.
Q: Is this product suitable for single use only?
A: Yes, as a sterile product, it is designed for one-time use to maintain aseptic conditions and prevent infection. The packaging should be intact before use.
Q: Can I use this for any type of wound?
