Heltiq Gauze Compress 8.5 x 5cm (16 pieces)

HeltiQ Gauze Compress is a woven, sterile gauze pad or compress suitable for both cleaning and covering dry or moist wounds. Dry wounds are closed wounds with a scab. Moist wounds are open wounds with wound fluid. For cleaning your wound, use the HeltiQ Gauze Compress in combination with a wound disinfectant. Discard the gauze compress after cleaning and use a new gauze compress to cover the wound.
HeltiQ Gauze Compress is made of 100% cotton and has a fine structure, making it highly suitable for absorbing a large amount of wound fluid.
Moreover, the compress is comfortable and soft, does not fray, and maintains its shape well. The HeltiQ Gauze Compress therefore does not cause skin irritation.

The HeltiQ Gauze Compress is a sterile product. Because you place the gauze compress directly from its packaging onto the wound in a sterile manner, it provides initial protection against dirt, moisture, and bacteria. After placing the gauze compress, dress the wound with a HeltiQ Elastic Fixation Bandage, a HeltiQ Self-Adhesive Bandage, or a HeltiQ Cambric Bandage. Secure the bandage with a HeltiQ Adhesive Plaster.
