Avant Gauze Non-Woven Sponges, 3-Ply, 4"x4", Non-Sterile, Latex-Free

Avant Gauze non-woven sponges are non-sterile 4 inch x 4 inch dressing sponges made for general wound care and dressing tasks. They are a practical choice for facilities that want a standard non-woven gauze with reduced lint versus traditional cotton gauze and a surface that is virtually non-adherent to fragile granulating wound tissue. This 3-ply, latex-free sponge uses a rayon/poly blend for a balance of strength and absorbency.
