Gauze is a lightweight, breathable fabric often used in medical settings for cleaning wounds or as a protective layer. Dressing, on the other hand, refers to a broader category of materials applied to a wound to promote healing and protect against infection, which can include gauze as well as other products like adhesive bandages or hydrocolloid dressings. Essentially, gauze can be a component of a dressing, but not all dressings are made of gauze.
