Composition: 100% cotton fiber (pure cotton).
Bleaching: Hydrogen peroxide (HO) or equivalent oxidizing bleaching (non-chlorine; no optical brighteners).
Appearance: White, soft, fibrous, free of visible foreign matter (no seeds, burs, trash, dust, black specks).
| Parameter | Typical Spec | Standard / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| pH of Aqueous Extract | 5.5 7.2 | Neutral range for wound-safe contact. |
| Sinking Time (Water) | 10 sec | Fast hydration indicates good absorbency. |
| Water Holding Capacity / Absorption | 23 g water / g cotton | Gravimetric absorption capacity. |
| Specific Absorption (Medical) | 20 weight in water | Industry typical. |
| Moisture Content (Loss on Drying) | 8% | Limits microbial growth. |
| Water-Soluble Substances | 0.5% | Limits residual processing chemicals. |
| Ether-Soluble Substances | 0.5% | Indicates low fat, wax, and solvent residue. |
| Surface Active Substances | < 2 mm | No significant surfactants; improves wicking. |
| Sulphated Ash | 0.4% | Low inorganic residue. |
| Fluorescence (OBA) | None | No optical brighteners or harmful agents. |
| Extractable Coloring Matter | None | No colour less extracted (BP/USP expectation). |
Fibre Length (Staple): Typical 1820 mm (varies by grade/product).
Micronaire / Fineness: Moderate value indicating clean, mature cotton.
Foreign Fibres / Neps: Minimal; meets pharmacopoeial limits.
Absorbency: High fluid uptake; essential for wound dressing & surgical use.
Odour: Odorless, tasteless cotton fiber.
Softness / Texture: Soft and conformable (important for patient comfort).
Biocompatibility: pH and extractables aligned with medical standards (neutral, non-irritating).
Microbial Limits (if non-sterile): Total aerobic microbial count often <200 cfu/g (specific to supplier methods).
Sterility (if specified): Meets ISO/medical device sterilization requirements when EO or gamma sterilized.
