What is Gauze Cotton?
- Cotton gauze is a lightweight fabric made of cotton. It is made of plain weave or by a leno weave.
- In technical terms "gauze" is a weave structure in which the weft yarns are arranged in pairs and are crossed before and after each warp yarn keeping the weft firmly in place .
- It is open, airy weaved fabric , and is perfect to wear during hot summers.
History
- During the initial times gauze fabric was made by using the silk fibers which were used for designing clothes.
- However, presently it is used for various other things rather than making clothes like sponges which are used for medical purposes.
- As silk is expensive in comparison to cotton, therefore people started using cotton for medical dressing and also other fabrics might get to the wounded area and can cause infection.
