Abstract

Absorbent cellulose dressings have been tested by immersion in a standard aqueous solution of picric acid followed by standard draining, elution of the picric acid, and measurement of the absorbance of the yellow colour at 355 nm. Six samples of gauze were graded by this procedure, and two considered unsatisfactory, despite all sinking in less than 10s. Filmated gauzes and unwoven dressings required greater dilution for the absorbance readings, reflecting their different structures.
