Industry Overview
Absorbent cotton, also known as surgical cotton or cotton wool, is an essential healthcare product widely used in hospitals, nursing homes, dispensaries, medical institutions, and personal hygiene applications. Its high fluid-absorption capacity, softness, and suitability for surgical dressings make it indispensable for wound cleaning, wound dressing, and medical care. It is also used in conventional sanitary napkins, personal care products, and beauty treatments.
The manufacturing process involves cleaning, washing, boiling, bleaching, hydroextraction, drying, carding, sterilization, and packing. These operations remove natural oils, waxes, and external impurities, making the cotton hydrophilic and suitable for surgical applications. Raw materials include lint cotton, cotton linters, comber cotton, and other processed cotton materials. Medium-staple cotton, cotton mill waste, and linters may be used individually or in economical blends, depending on the required product quality.
Surgical bandages are manufactured from suitable white, bleached cotton gauze cloth. They are available in different widths and lengths and are primarily used to secure wound dressings. Production involves mechanical cleaning, drying, combing, spinning, weaving, washing, bleaching, starching, cutting, and packing. Since suitable bandage cloth may not be readily available in the market, manufacturers may need to arrange its weaving through local suppliers.
Growing healthcare services, increasing awareness of personal hygiene, and expanding medical facilities in rural and urban areas have supported demand for surgical cotton and bandages. The report also identifies small-scale manufacturing as an important aspect of the industry's policy framework and states that a small-scale unit does not require a production licence under the policy described in the report.
