Gauze is a light, open-weave fabric made of cotton when used for surgical dressings and of silk and other fibres when used for dress trimming. The name is derived from that of the Palestinian city of Gaza, where the fabric is thought to have originated.

What does a gauze look like?
Gauze was traditionally woven in Palestine. Though members of religious orders in Europe were forbidden to wear it, the fabric won a place for itself and emerged into modern life as gauze. The fabric, gauze, is more tightly bound than medical gauze but the fabric is still as airy. Medical gauze is used to clean up cuts, bug bites, etc. Sterile gauze is used to cover wounds. Medical gauze is slightly scratchy. It has the appearance of graph paper with tiny, square or rectangular open blocks that are interwoven. Air can easily pass through the small open blocks. In wounds that ooze fluid, gauze sticks as it is intended to do, in order to debride the wound.
