Heltiq Gauze Compress 8.5 x 5cm twenty

HeltiQ Gauze Compress is a woven sterile gauze or compress that is suitable for both cleaning and covering dry or moist wounds. Dry wounds are understood to be closed wounds that have a scab. Moist wounds are open wounds consisting of wound fluid. Use the HeltiQ Gauze Compress in combination with a wound disinfectant for cleaning your wound. Dispose of the gauze compress after cleaning and use a new gauze compress for covering the wound.
HeltiQ Gauze Compress is made of 100% cotton and has a fine structure, making it extremely 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 irritation to the skin.

The HeltiQ Gauze Compress is a sterile product. By placing the gauze compress directly from the packaging onto the wound, it provides initial protection against dirt, moisture, and bacteria. After placing the gauze compress, secure 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.

Only take the gauze pad out of the packaging at the last moment, as this keeps the gauze pad sterile. (follow the instructions on the packaging). Hold the gauze pad between your thumb and index finger at a small angle or use tweezers.

TIP

Rinse the abrasion with gently flowing water. Remove any coarse dirt particles with tweezers. Then gently clean and dry the area around the wound with a sterile HeltiQ Gauze Pad. You can stop the bleeding by using HeltiQ Blood Stop Spray. Then cover the abrasion with a HeltiQ Ointment Gauze Pad, secure it with a HeltiQ Elastic Fixation Bandage, and fasten it with a HeltiQ Adhesive Plaster. The caring ointment in the ointment gauze pad prevents sticking to the wound. This property reduces and soothes pain and decreases the chance of scarring.

Aftercare
To remove the gauze pad, you can gently pull it off. If the gauze pad sticks to the wound or skin, you can try to loosen it with lukewarm water.
Regularly check the wound, the gauze pad, and the dressing for leakage or drying out (adhesion of the gauze pad to the wound)
Change the dressing daily or as needed multiple times a day
