Gauze is commonly made from either 100% cotton or non-woven blends like rayon/polyester. Cotton gauze is soft, highly absorbent, and widely used for its natural feel and compatibility with sensitive skin. Non-woven materials provide strength, less lint, and enhanced absorbency in some cases, often at a lower cost. The best material depends on your needs—cotton for traditional wound care and non-woven for high absorbency and less lint. For example, Covidien 2146 Curity Gauze Sponge features 100% cotton, while the Covidien 8044 Curity Non-Woven Gauze Sponges offer a rayon/polyester blend for enhanced performance. There are both cotton and non-woven choices available to match your preferences.
