What is ply in gauze?

The number of layers refers to the number of layers a folded gauze can produce, such as 8 or 12. The higher the number of layers, the thicker the gauze, because it will have more layers. Gauze pads come in both sterile and non-sterile forms, preferably sterile if used for wound care.

What are the self-care procedures for cuts and scrapes?

• Clean around the wound with soap and water. (It's okay if some gets into the cut, but it may hurt.)

• Press on the cut to stop the bleeding. Do this for up to 10 minutes if you need to. Use a sterile bandage or a clean cloth. Use a clean hand if you don't have a bandage or cloth. (Dry gauze can stick to the wound, so try not to use it.) Don't use a Band-Aid.

• Press on the cut again if it keeps bleeding. Get help if it is still bleeding after 20 or more minutes. Keep pressing on it while you wait for help.

• Lift the part of the body with the cut higher than the person's heart. This slows down blood flow to that spot.

• Put first-aid cream on the cut when it is clean and dry. Use a sterile cloth or cotton swab. Try Polysporin, Neosporin or Johnson & Johnson First-Aid Cream.

• Put one or more Band-Aids on the cut. Do it this way:

• Put the Band-Aid across the cut so it can help hold the cut together.

• The sides of the cut should touch, but not too tightly. Don't let them overlap.

• Don't touch the cut with your hand.

• You can use a butterfly bandage if you have one.

• Use more than one bandage for a long cut.

• For scrapes, make a bandage from gauze and first-aid tape.

• Leave the bandage on for 24 hours. Change the bandage every day or two. Change it more often if you need to. Be careful when you take the bandage off. You don't want to make the cut bleed again. Wet gauze before you pull it off.
