Gauze

Gauze is like a squishy, soft piece of fabric that is used to wrap around cuts or scrapes. Think of it like a hug for your boo-boo. The gauze helps to keep germs out of the cut and also helps to soak up any icky blood or other liquids. It's kind of like a superhero helper for your body. Sometimes, grown-ups also use gauze to clean things up, like when they're wiping away medicine or cleaning a wound. It's a very helpful thing to have around when you're not feeling your best!
