GAUZE PADS
Other names for gauze pads are gauze swabs, medical gauze pads, surgical gauze pads, self stick or non-stick pads,cotton gauze pads,first-aid gauze pads

In hospitals, nurses are preparing gauze for surgery in 3 steps
- They buy gauze packets like 100cmx10m or 120cm or 90cmx18m whichever size is available in their market
- They cut the gauze into pieces like 2×2 inch or 3×3 inch or 4″x4″ inches
- After they autoclave or sterile the gauze pieces.

x-ray detectable thread other names are radiopaque thread
main use for this x-ray detectable thread is sometimes while surgery time there is a chance surgeon can forget the gauze pads inside the body. in that situation, if the gauze pad is without x-ray detectable means we cant able to find whether the gauze pad is inside our body or not if it is exactly which place it occurs. if it is with x-ray detectable thread pad means we can take x-ray our body then easily we can find the gauze pads.
