Product Overview

Dynarex 4" × 4" Sterile Gauze Pads are among the most fundamental supplies in any medical kit. The 4×4 format has been the clinical standard for wound dressing for decades, providing sufficient coverage for most individual wound sites while remaining small enough for precise spot application. The 8-ply cotton construction delivers nearly double the absorbent capacity of 4-ply alternatives, making these appropriate for moderately to heavily exuding wounds and irrigation absorption procedures.

Each box contains 25 sterile twin-pack peel-down pouches for a total of 50 pads. The peel-down pouch design enables aseptic handling — the foil backing peels away to present sterile pads without the provider's hands contacting the pad surface. This is significant for infection control in tactical environments where clean gloves may not be available. The 100% cotton construction minimizes lint, reducing the risk of fiber contamination in open wounds.

In the tactical and pre-hospital context, 4×4 gauze pads are used for wound covering and protection, wound irrigation absorption, as a dressing substrate under an elastic wrap or compression bandage, for wound cleaning and debridement, and as padding between a splint and skin. A box of 50 pads provides sufficient supply for an extended patrol kit, a vehicle medical kit, or a training day where multiple simulated wound treatments will be performed.

Combine with elastic wrap or compression bandages from the Bandages & Dressings collection. For hemorrhage control applications, see the Massive Hemorrhage Control collection.
