Gauze Compress (Product Code: SLE/CL/36) is a 12 ply gauze square of approximately 10x10cm, non-sterile and individually packed, for general absorbent and padding tasks in laboratories, clinics and first aid stations. The multi-layer build gives a thick, absorbent pad that holds together when pressed or folded. Sample collection rooms, school and college laboratories and workplace first aid points keep a stock of compresses, and they are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for institutions stocking a first aid box for their lab in India or restocking a phlebotomy trolley.

In a blood collection room, a folded compress is pressed over the puncture site after the needle is withdrawn, then held in place until bleeding stops. Technicians also use gauze to wipe the outside of tubes and containers, to soak up small spills before disinfecting a surface, and to pad fragile glassware in a drawer or transport box. In first aid, non-sterile gauze is useful for cleaning around a minor injury and as an outer padding layer over a sterile dressing.
Because these compresses are non-sterile, use a sterile dressing for direct contact with open wounds. Open each individual pack only when needed so unused pieces stay clean and dry, and dispose of any gauze that has touched blood as clinical waste. Schools building a first aid training kit can include compresses so students practise applying pressure and padding correctly.
ScienceLab is how Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana company, presents its laboratory range. Along with the equipment it produces, it supplies everyday clinical consumables like gauze so that labs and schools can restock safety and collection items in one order.
