Gauze’s history goes back to the time when it was used as clothing and was made with silk. Presently, gauze sponges are largely used in the field of medicine for the purpose of dressings, cleaning wounds and absorbing fluids. They are now made with cotton.  It is very important for gauze to be of good quality cotton and be sterilized effectively for use in hospitals or healthcare set-ups.

Gauze sponges can be pre-sterilized or are sterilized before use. Some of them are embedded with an x-ray detecting strip so that they can be spotted on an X-ray if left inside the patient’s body during a surgical procedure.

Ddu (Drugdu.com) ensures the provision of good quality gauze sponges on its platform. One of the companies supplying gauze sponges on Ddu is the DE Medical Technology Jiangsu Co.,Ltd which manufactures sterilize gauze sponges. They are CE certified and have a warranty of 2 years.
