Differences Between Gauze and Bandage

1. Material

Gauze: Made of pure cotton or cotton-blend fabrics, featuring soft texture and high breathability.

Bandage: Constructed from various materials like cotton, synthetic fibers, or elastic fabrics, selected based on specific usage needs.

2. Purpose

Gauze: Primarily used for wound cleaning, dressing coverage, and absorbing exudates, suitable for direct contact with wounds.

Bandage: Mainly functions to secure dressings, wrap wounds, or immobilize fractures, providing mechanical support and fixation.

3. Fixation Method

Gauze: Typically requires additional fixation with medical tape or safety pins.

Bandage: Self-retaining due to inherent elasticity or adhesiveness, allowing direct application to the skin without extra fasteners.

4. Sterilization

Medical Gauze: Sterilized for medical use, meeting aseptic standards.

Bandage: Usually cleaned but non-sterilized, suitable for general wound care (sterilized medical bandages exist for specific applications).

5. Form

Gauze: Available in various sizes, composed of multiple layered sheets with certain thickness (e.g., 4-ply, 8-ply).

Bandage: Typically single-layered with extended length (e.g., 60cm×600cm rolls), customizable through cutting as needed.

Usage Recommendation

For wound dressing:

Clean the wound thoroughly.

Cover with sterile gauze to absorb exudates.

Secure the gauze with a bandage for stable fixation, adjusting tightness to avoid discomfort or restricted circulation.
