Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between woven and non-woven gauze swabs?

Woven gauze (traditional) can shed lint fibres into wounds during cleaning — a potential issue in wound care. Non-woven swabs are made from fibres bonded without weaving, resulting in a softer, more absorbent material that does not shed lint and is less likely to stick to wounds.

Are these swabs suitable for home wound care?

Yes. Sterile non-woven swabs are appropriate for home wound care, dressing changes, and first aid. Always use from a freshly opened sterile pouch and discard the pouch after use.

Can I use these swabs for cleaning around wounds?

Yes. Sterile swabs are ideal for cleaning around wound margins with saline or antiseptic solution, applying topical treatments, and absorbing wound exudate during dressing changes.

How do I open the sterile pouch correctly?

Peel open the pouch from the designated opening corners — avoid touching the swabs inside the pouch with bare hands to maintain sterility. Use clean gloves or forceps to remove swabs if sterility is critical.

Can USL swabs be used by healthcare professionals?

Yes. USL Non-Woven Swabs are a clinical-grade product used in hospitals, GP clinics, and allied health settings across New Zealand and Australia. The sterile pouch packaging meets clinical hygiene standards.
