Gauze

Gauze may seem like a small and unnecessary tool when dressing wounds these days. There are now many styles and sizes of band-aids, but these dont work in all circumstances. Many wounds and scratches require a bit working with the skin to adequately dress. In many cases, the wound may be on a spot on the body that requires heavy movement such as the hand or at a joint, so a normal bandage wont work. Furthermore, many wounds cannot have pressure on them.
