• Folds: 8 overlapping layers (8 ply type) for greater fluid retention and secure contact with dermal or surgical surface.

Dosage and Correct Administration

• Dogs and cats: Use 1-3 gauze pads per wound, depending on the size. Sterilize beforehand if required for surgery.
• Equines and ruminants: For deep wounds or postoperative drains, it is recommended to use packs of 3-5 gauze pads per affected area.
• Exotic species and NACs: Cut the gauze according to anatomical needs. Sterilize in an autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes.

Frequency of use: as per clinical protocol or until gauze is saturated. Discard after each use or after sterilization if contaminated.
