Dressing cotton refers to absorbent cotton products used for wound care, hygiene, and general medical applications. These materials are valued for their softness, absorbency, and low skin irritation, often appearing as pads, rolls, or gauze for cleaning wounds, absorbing fluids, and protecting injuries. While traditional cotton dressings are hydrophilic, meaning they absorb water, modern versions are often treated or layered to create a more effective and hygienic product for healing.
