Sterile gauze is individually packaged and treated to be free from all microorganisms, making it suitable for open wounds or surgical procedures. In contrast, the Covidien (formerly Kendall) 2252 Curity Gauze Sponge—2" x 2", 12-ply, Non-Sterile, Package of 200—is not sterile and is intended for non-invasive tasks like cleaning, wiping, or padding, where sterility is not required.
