A dressing pad and a gauze swab are both used in wound care but serve slightly different purposes. A dressing pad is typically larger, more absorbent, and designed to cover and protect a wound while absorbing exudate. In contrast, a gauze swab is smaller, often used for cleaning wounds or applying antiseptic, and may also serve as a secondary layer to add cushioning or absorbency when used with other dressings.
