COMPRESS, NON-WOVEN, non sterile

Definition

A non-medicated, non-sterile compress made from non-woven material and primarily designed to absorb fluids for medical purposes.

It is used to cover/clean wounds and absorb their exudates, to apply topical medications or disinfect healthy skin prior to a venipuncture or an injection.

It produces less lint, is less adherent and less abrasive compared to basic woven gauze pads.

Instructions for use

Do not use for aseptic care.

For medical care where sterile compresses are required, it is better to use compresses that are sterilized by an industrial process rather than non-sterile compresses that are sterilized in the field. This is important for quality, hygiene, time and cost reasons.
