gauze pad

Soft medical square

A gauze pad is a flat piece of loosely woven cotton fabric used for wound care—absorbing blood, applying pressure, or covering injuries.

Medical gauze pads come in standardized sizes and may be sterile for clinical use: Press a gauze pad firmly against the cut until the bleeding stops.
