Frequently Asked Questions

Pack sizes, formats, certification, price, delivery and invoicing.

Which pack sizes do you make?

Seven. Absorbent Cotton Wool I.P. comes as a roll in 20 g, 40 g, 400 g and 500 g packs, and Absorbent Zig Zag Cotton Wool I.P. comes in 100 g, 400 g and 500 g. All of them are made at GIDA, Gorakhpur and packed under our own Belsara brand.

What is the difference between roll and Zig Zag cotton wool?

Both are Absorbent Cotton Wool I.P.; the difference is how the cotton is folded. A roll pack is one continuous length that you cut or tear as you need it. A Zig Zag pack is folded like a concertina, so a measured length pulls away cleanly without cutting — quicker on a dressing trolley.

How much does absorbent cotton wool cost?

We quote per order rather than publish a price list, because the rate depends on the pack size, the quantity and where it is going. Send us those three things — pack size, quantity and your delivery PIN code — and we will come back with a price.

Is the cotton sterilized?

No. Every pack is supplied non-sterile and is marked "to be sterilized before use". That is the usual form for absorbent cotton wool I.P. used in dressing, cleaning and everyday first aid. Sterilize it in your own autoclave if your procedure calls for it.

Is Belsara certified?

Yes, and each certificate covers a specific scope. ISO 9001:2015, certificate E20250319464, covers the manufacture and distribution of absorbent cotton wool I.P. ISO 13485:2016, certificate ISATM724, covers wholesale and distribution of surgical and hospital consumables. We are also enlisted with NSIC under the Single Point Registration Scheme.
