FIWA comp gauze compresses – non-sterile

FIWA komp gauze compresses are non-sterile compresses made of 17-thread gauze according to DIN EN 14079 and consist of 100% cotton. The folded edges help to reduce suture loosening and ensure a clean wound dressing. They are suitable for general wound care and can be used for initial treatment as well as minor procedures. The compresses can be used as wound dressings, for cleansing, or as swabs and are designed for use in outpatient clinics, medical practices, and wards. These compresses do not contain radiopaque thread (no X-ray sutures) and are intended for external use only.

Areas of application

FIWA komp gauze compresses are used especially for the initial treatment of contaminated, infected, and exuding wounds. They are suitable as wound dressings for absorbing secretions, blood, and other bodily fluids. They can also be used as swabs during minor surgical procedures in outpatient or inpatient settings. The compresses are intended for external use.

Instructions for use

Select the appropriate dressing size for the wound and position it so that the entire wound area is covered. For heavily exuding wounds, multiple layers can be applied if necessary. Suitable bandages or adhesive tape can be used for fixation. The item must be sterilized using a validated method before contact with open wounds. Adhere to the applicable hygiene guidelines of your facility.
