Medline Woven Non-Sterile Gauze Sponges 12PLY 4x4 inch

The 12-ply thickness holds up way better than the thin 4x4s I used to buy, and the C-fold makes it easy to grab one without unfolding a whole pad. I use these for packing and dressing changes, and they stay intact instead of shedding cotton everywhere.

The low-lint design really makes a difference—no stray fibers left behind in the wound. The C-fold opens easily for precise packing.

I bought these to pack a small wound after a minor surgery and the C-fold design made it so much easier to tuck in than flat pads. The 12-ply cotton is thick enough that it doesn't fall apart when wet, and I've had almost no lint left behind when changing dressings.
