inert gauze Explanation: Without further context, a literal translation seems appropriate, although an "inert dressing" would be more common than an "inert gauze", unless reference is made to a specific brand of kaolin impregnated gauze. (OK, the whole English term, "inert gauze dressing", will cover that anyway ;-) |

1 hr confidence:
sterile gauze Explanation: "inert gauze" makes no sense whatso, because it implies the potential existence of dynamic gauze. |
