1. **Why Absorbency Matters**: Good absorbency is important for taking care of wounds. High-quality gauze can hold a lot of fluid, which helps keep wounds clean and healing well.
2. **Choosing Absorbent Gauze**: Look for gauze that says it has high absorbency. These work better to soak up fluids and help wounds heal.
3. **Easy Test for Absorbency**:
- Cut gauze to a small square (about 5cm x 5cm).
- Put the gauze in water and see how long it takes to sink.
- Good gauze should sink in less than 10 seconds.
- Mirson gauze usually sinks in just 2-3 seconds, showing it works very well.
Do this simple test to see how well Mirson gauze soaks up fluids. This will help you choose the best gauze for your needs, especially when caring for wounds.
