Sterile gauze pads: guide to 5 × 5, 7.5 × 7.5 and 10 × 10 cm
Sterile gauze pads are available in several dimensions and pack sizes. When comparing products, it is useful to distinguish between the dimensions of the gauze pad, the number of gauze pads in a sterile pack and the number of sterile packs you are buying.
Three sizes in Tilden's range
Tilden's current KOMPRI LUX S range includes sterile gauze pads in:
- 5 × 5 cm
- 7.5 × 7.5 cm
- 10 × 10 cm
Tilden's current product pages state three gauze pads per sterile pack. Products are sold as 1, 10 or 50 sterile packs depending on the variant. See the full Gauze pads & wound care category.
How to read the packaging information
For example, if a product is listed as 10 sterile packs, this refers to the number of separate sterile packages. Always check the product page for exact contents, as the number of gauze pads per sterile pack and packaging configuration can vary between products and manufacturers.
Size is a specification, not a treatment recommendation
5 × 5, 7.5 × 7.5 and 10 × 10 cm describe the dimensions of the gauze pad. Which size is appropriate in a particular care situation depends on the intended use and should be determined according to the product instructions and relevant healthcare advice. This guide therefore does not provide instructions for treating specific wounds.
Check before use
