Medline PRM21408CZ Caring Non Sterile Sponges Reviews Summary

Quality and Effectiveness

Pros:

• "I have been using a lot since Oct 23 have a wound care that is dealt with daily so overall I have found this is the best quality and best for your buck."
• "It was thin but worked great, and when I needed more, I doubled up, but most times, the single gauze piece was just fine."
• "These are very good at absorbing things and are a good value for the dollar."
• "These woven gauze sponges met all my expectations for my wound care needs, and they were virtually identical to the product my visiting nurses used."
• "These work great for wounds, swabbing and when rolled lightly, clean dogs ears."
• "These sponges are absorbent and effectively help in wound care and dressing changes."
• "Great product this gauze is just as good as the name brand ones, I like the absorbing property’s."

Cons:

• "These are so thin and stringy, I can't imagine what anyone would use them for."
• "These are scratchy and very thin."
• "It's so flimsy that it can't even be used for its intended purchase, not to mention, that none of this is sterile."
• "These gauze are horribly made they fall apart and do not work as a wound dressing."
• "These are totally useless. I don’t know what they could even be used for."
• "These gauze sponges are a total ripoff. 3-4 times the cost of the Bandaid ones, and subpar quality."
• "These are rough and very cheaply made."

Size and Material

Pros:

• "They are made from 100% cotton and they do not split or fray."
• "These are loose woven gauze and 100 percent real cotton."
• "I love that it's all cotton, and it'll be great for applying ointment or making a thick pad over a scrape or shallow cut."

Cons:

• "Calling it a 4x4 is a stretch, literally, more like 3x3."
• "These are not 4 inches by 4 inches. Barely over 3 x 3."
• "Thinner than the thinnest paper towel ever."
• "The pads themselves are super thin, it's basically dollar store halloween cheesecloth like material but worse."
• "The cross weave is extremely loose & when you open it, it is quite small."
• "The weave of the gauze is really large to allow your wound to breathe, depending on your needs this one may not be for your."
• "The gauze was very loosely woven, similar to what some of the other 1 star videos show."

Packaging and Sterility

Pros:

• "Packaging is GREAT unopened, not stained, no weird smell."
• "Serves their purpose while being cost effective. The packaging is nice, too, cause it will allow you to only have access to the sponges that you need without needlessly contaminating the rest."
