Product Overview
The Multigate Green Gauze Swab is a sterile, single-use medical gauze swab measuring 10cm x 10cm, constructed from 8-ply 100% cotton for reliable absorbency and durability in clinical environments. Supplied in a carton of 500 pieces — packaged as 50 inner bags each containing 10 packs of 5 swabs — this product is engineered to meet the demands of surgical theatres, wound care procedures, and general clinical use across hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout Australia.
As a non-X-ray detectable (non-XRD) sterile gauze swab, this product is specifically designed for external use where radio-opaque identification is not required. The distinctive green colour aids rapid identification on procedure trays and in clinical settings. Multigate's single-use designation ensures full compliance with infection control best practice, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination between patients and procedures. Ideal for inclusion in procedure packs and surgical kits, these swabs are a trusted staple across the Multigate medical product range.
