What it’s for

The 5 × 5 cm pad is right for the site; the 10 × 10 cm is right for everything else. Cheap to keep a box of both.

What to check in the listing

Individually wrapped and sterile, same rule as the small ones. Non-woven is softer and sheds less than woven cotton gauze. Twelve-ply is plenty; the thin four-ply ones soak through instantly.
