gauze
Wound wrap material
Gauze is a thin, loosely woven fabric with an open mesh structure.
Medical gauze serves as bandaging material: The nurse wrapped the wound in gauze.
The same weave appears in curtains and theatrical scrims.
Figuratively, gauze suggests haziness or obscurity: a gauze of fog, memories seen through gauze.
