StayGuard™ gauze swabs can be sterilized and are safe for use in any settings and in any conditions
Is there expiration date?
Yes, for expiration date specific to the product, look in the product package.
Can I not use the gauze swab after the expiration date?
Yes and no. Gauze swab itself does not expire, yet the packaging to ensure sterility of the swab may expire. So “no”, you shouldn’t use the gauze swab on an open wound that is to be strictly treated with disinfected substances to prevent further infection. But “yes”, you can use it for some other uses that do not require sterility.
What is mesh and ply?
Mesh is the density of the woven cotton. The greater the number, the denser the gauze gets. Ply is the thickness of the gauze. In this case, the greater the number, the thicker the gauze will be.
Which sterilization is better?
It really depends on what you are using the gauze swabs for. Ethylene Oxide sterilization kills every single microorganisms, whereas when you utilize gamma sterilization, you could control the ‘bioburden’ on the surface of the gauze. Also, EO gas method is good for sterilization of the surface of the swab, while gamma ray sterilization is good for penetration and sterilizes product throughout. Because of these characteristics, EO sterilization method, using EO gas, is not effective for liquid or metals, while gamma sterilization is. So EO sterilized swabs may be more suitable for cases where the swabs need to be completely free of microorganisms on the surface. Using gamma sterilization, the swabs will be sterile throughout, but may have some microorganism based on the bioburden count of the product.
What is a ‘bioburden’?
Bioburden is the number of bacteria or microorganisms on the surface of non-sterilized subject.
