A gauze bandage is a type of medical dressing that is used to protect and facilitate in the healing process of wounds, secure dressings in place, maintain cleanliness of the wound, and absorb bodily secretions. Like a regular bandage, gauze bandages can also be used to slow the rate of bleeding, prevent the entry of dirt and bacteria into the wound, hold the skin together to accelerate the healing process, and some may have antiseptic properties.
Due to the non-adhesive nature of this type of bandage, it can be applied directly to the wound. An initial base dressing is not required to be laid over the wound first, unlike the adhesive gauze bandage.
Some key properties for gauze bandages are that they must be durable enough to protect the wound, but retain a certain degree of flexibility to be able to move with the wearers’ movements and actions without coming undone. Small pores on the bandage material are also necessary for breathability, assisting in the healing process.
Gauze bandages are manufactured from medical grade cotton. This material composition allows for a high degree of flexibility and elasticity, allowing the dressing of awkward areas of the body that are difficult to access. The material also allows for a high degree of freedom and comfort, even when moving.
Bandages are widely used for both professional and consumer needs, in hospitals, clinics, senior living facilities, schools, and households.
Gauze mesh is associated with the density of the cotton that the bandage is made from. A higher mesh count signifies higher density of the gauze. Gauze yarn relates to the fineness (or coarseness) of the bandage. An elevated yarn count is indicative of courser threads.
The range of gauze bandages offered by AdvaCare come in a plethora of different sizes and shapes to treat any wound located anywhere on the body, even awkward places such as the knees. As a general trend, the larger the width of the bandage, the more expensive it will be.
All gauze bandages come in 1 ply.
Because of their non-adhesive properties, gauze bandages are more suited to treat minor wounds. More severe wounds, especially wounds prone to bleeding, should be treated with a stronger, more robust adhesive bandage, such as a gauze adhesive bandage.
Gauze bandages are available in 4 series. They will be explored in greater detail below. Pictured are the 10m long variants of each.

Usage:
Gauze bandages are ideal for protecting and facilitating the healing process of a cut, abrasion, blister, or other injury that is relatively minor. A more severe injury would require a higher level of protection than that offered by a regular gauze bandage. Gauze bandages protect injuries from friction, exposure, and further damage which may worsen the wound and consequently prolong the healing time.
To apply the bandage, ensure the wound is cleaned thoroughly to remove any debris or foreign bodies. Ensure the shape and size of the bandage is applicable to the area of the body that the bandage is being applied to. A dressing is not required to be placed over the wound, as the gauze bandage is not adhesive. Take care not to touch the wound, as this may aggravate it. Changing the bandage and dressing daily is recommended. If the bandage gets wet or soiled, it should be replaced with a fresh bandage.
It is imperative that gauze bandages are not used if the packaging or seal is compromised. Evidence of this may suggest tampering or loss of sterility. If one should come across bandages inside comprised packaging, the correct course of action is to dispose of it quickly and safely.
Precautions:
- It is important that gauze bandages are not reused. Once used, the device is not fit to be salvaged for further used, as sterilization cannot be retained. Re-using bandages can result in infections being transmitted;
- Must prepare the bandages for use in a clean, sterile environment, absent of bodily fluids or other sources of contamination;
- Gauze bandages are more suitable to treat minor cuts and lesions. If a wound is more severe, or is bleeding, a stronger, more robust bandage would be required, for example an adhesive gauze bandage;
- Gauze bandages should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Failure to do so may dry the bandage up, decreasing its healing properties;
- Promptly and safely dispose of any bandages that have touched a potentially contaminated surface;
- If bandages have blood or any other bodily substance on it, it must be handled as biohazard waste.
