Reasons for not being able to find Japanese-made medical gauze (1/2)
大和工場 本社
We sometimes receive inquiries from users and individual customers asking, "Do you have Japanese-made gauze?" Of course, there are many Japanese-made products such as gauze for cosmetics and babies, but it is difficult to find medical gauze labeled as "Made in Japan."
Currently, most of the medical gauze distributed in Japan is "Made in China." There are medical gauze products that have been processed domestically from imported raw gauze, but these are not labeled as "Made in Japan."
The difference between medical gauze and general woven fabrics is in the "refining and bleaching process" during manufacturing. The "refining and bleaching process" for woven fabrics is carried out as a pre-dyeing step, and after going through the dyeing process, it is finished as "white." On the other hand, medical gauze must be finished as "white" only through the "refining and bleaching process" without dyeing.
*1. Woven fabric refers to textiles. Textiles are made by weaving vertical and horizontal threads.
*2. The reason for this is that if the "refining and bleaching" is done in a general bleaching factory, it cannot meet the standards for medical gauze (the standards for Class I medical devices under the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act) that require "no fluorescence."
