Medline4 x 4 inch Gauze Sponges, 100% Cotton, 8-Ply Woven Non-Sterile Gauze (Pack of 200)

Since I’m my husband’s home care taker, I wanted to find the gauze pads they used in the hospital, which they gave me some right after my husband’s surgery. I was great to find them available here on Amazon and to be able to purchase in a quantity, to meet storage capacity they we have in our small condo.

Thank you!!

Sufficient.

Good price, however more than one must be used to be effective.

product as described

Great

Let me tell you, these Medline 4x4 inch Gauze Sponges are the unsung heroes of every gory, chaotic, "how-did-this-even-happen" disaster you can imagine. I’ve used these more times than I care to admit, and let me tell you, they’ve seen things. Horrible things. We’re talking full-on horror movie scenes—blood gushing, wounds that make you question your life choices, and injuries that should probably involve a professional, but instead, I slapped some gauze on it and hoped for the best.First off, these bad boys are 100% cotton, so you know they’re soft enough to feel like they’re comforting your wound even as you’re questioning why you ever thought it was a good idea to use a chainsaw while multitasking. And the 8-ply woven fabric? That’s some serious blood-soaking power right there. I’ve had cuts where the blood flowed like I was auditioning for a slasher flick, and these gauze sponges soaked it all up like a vampire at an all-you-can-drink buffet.And let me tell you—non-sterile or not, these gauze sponges know how to survive the carnage. I had a wound that was definitely borderline “call an ambulance,” but I threw a stack of these gauze sponges on there, and it was like an old-school battlefield triage scene. The blood didn’t stand a chance. The gauze fought bravely, turning from white to red like a warrior in the final battle, but it held its ground.Plus, the 4x4 size is perfect for covering up just enough to keep your arm attached, while still leaving room for people to admire the absolute chaos that led to the injury in the first place. They’re like a bandage, but with an edge: “Yeah, I’m bleeding out, but look how absorbent this gauze is. I’m handling it.”Need to wrap a gnarly wound that looks like it’s straight out of a zombie apocalypse survival guide? These gauze sponges have you covered. Literally. Wrap ‘em tight, and suddenly, your limb looks professionally bandaged, even though we all know it’s one wrong move away from turning into a Quentin Tarantino scene.In conclusion, if you’re prone to accidents, or if you find yourself regularly living in some kind of DIY horror movie, Medline 4x4 Gauze Sponges are the last line of defense between you and a scene straight out of Saw. These sponges have one job—soak up the blood and keep you moving—and they do it brilliantly.P.S. If the gauze turns completely red in 2.5 seconds, it’s probably time to seek help—or just grab another sponge and keep the horror show going.

Trust the images people have uploaded. These are 8-ply, which is the thinnest, lowest thread count that you can buy.
