Kid-man KOMPRI lux Non-Sterile Gauze Swabs 17th Thread 12-Ply 10x20 cm

Kid-man KOMPRI lux non-sterile gauze swabs are high-quality medical dressings manufactured from hydrophilic cotton. These swabs are bleached using hydrogen peroxide, ensuring a chlorine-free composition that is safe for medical applications. Designed with specialized ES-type folded edges, the swabs effectively prevent the fraying of loose threads, maintaining structural integrity during use. These 12-ply swabs provide reliable performance for various clinical and outpatient procedures.

Advantages

The primary advantage of these gauze swabs is their robust construction, which minimizes the risk of loose fibers entering a wound site due to the precision-folded edges. The use of hydrophilic cotton ensures excellent absorption capacity for blood and bodily fluids, making them highly effective for fluid management. Furthermore, their compatibility with multiple sterilization methods, including steam, ethylene oxide, and gamma radiation, offers significant flexibility for healthcare facilities that maintain their own sterilization protocols.

Suitable for

• General wound dressing in outpatient settings
• Blood and fluid absorption during surgical procedures
• Invasive use as an intraoperative material
• Hospital ward medical care

These swabs are not suitable for applications requiring pre-sterilized, ready-to-use materials, as they are supplied in a non-sterile state. They should not be used without undergoing a validated sterilization process if the intended application requires a sterile environment.

Key specifications

• Material: Hydrophilic cotton gauze
• Bleaching agent: Hydrogen peroxide (chlorine-free)
• Edge type: ES-type folded to prevent fraying
• Ply count: 12-ply
• Dimensions: 10 cm x 20 cm
• Sterilization compatibility: Steam, ethylene oxide, gamma radiation

To use these gauze swabs, ensure they are subjected to an appropriate sterilization process suitable for your medical facility's standards before contact with open wounds or surgical sites. Once sterilized, handle the swabs using aseptic techniques to maintain their integrity. Apply the swab directly to the wound area to absorb fluids or provide a protective layer as required by the clinical protocol.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your facility has the necessary equipment for steam, ethylene oxide, or gamma sterilization.
• Ensure the 10x20 cm size is appropriate for your specific clinical or surgical requirements.
• Confirm that the 12-ply thickness meets the absorption needs of your intended procedures.

Always store the swabs in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination prior to the sterilization process. Ensure that the packaging remains intact until the moment of sterilization to maintain the quality of the cotton fibers.
