A gauze pad is a single layer of woven or non-woven material for wound coverage. A gauze sponge, like the Covidien 2252 Curity Gauze Sponge (2" x 2", 12-ply, Non-Sterile), consists of multiple layers—12 in this case—folded together, offering greater absorbency and cushioning. Gauze sponges are thicker and more absorbent than single pads, making them suitable for managing heavier wound drainage.
