What is gauze?

Gauze is a thin, loosely woven fabric made from cotton, fiberglass, or synthetic fibers. It is commonly used in medical settings as a dressing for wounds, as it allows for air circulation while protecting the wound from dirt and bacteria. Gauze can also be used for cleaning and applying medication to wounds, as well as for wrapping injuries or providing support to sprains and strains. It comes in various sizes and forms, such as rolls, pads, and sponges. Gauze is also used in various other applications, such as in craft projects, beauty treatments, and industrial settings.
