The rolls are impregnated with PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide), a powerful yet safe
antiseptic that has a broad range effectiveness against gram-positive
and gram-negative microorganisms including some multi-drug resistant
strains such as MRSA. In addition to antimicrobial capabilities, the gauze rolls
provide fast-wicking action, superior aeration, and excellent
absorbency.
