The key difference lies in the antimicrobial function and application scenario. White Chlorhexidine Gauze Dressing is impregnated with chlorhexidine gluconate, providing active broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection to inhibit wound bacteria and reduce infection risks-ideal for contaminated, infected or high-risk wounds. Regular sterile gauze has no antimicrobial components, serving only basic functions of absorbing exudate and covering wounds, suitable for clean, non-infected wounds. Additionally, chlorhexidine gauze maintains antimicrobial activity for 24-48 hours, while regular gauze has no sustained protective effect. The white color of chlorhexidine gauze aids in exudate observation, and some models have non-adherent properties, whereas regular gauze may adhere to wet wound surfaces, causing pain during replacement.
